Another member of the crew then sternly asked whose coat/bag had been left on the seat opposite, and I explained they were mine.

I was told in no uncertain terms that I should place them in the overhead locker - I did explain that I had - and one of her colleagues had removed the items to accommodate her apparent 'friends' and left the damn things there.

Obviously the overhead bin was now full, and as she huffed and puffed to try and store them elsewhere, she stormed off with my items without an apology - not that I was wanting one, but I was annoyed at the time.
