I agree with bricksoft. Apart from people having your address when you're not home, it may be potentially used for identity theft as well. It's more difficult/not as much of a priority to keep track of things like that when you're away from your home base.

Someone might have taken your MPC tag as a souvenir, but it could be that a baggage handler accidentally took hold of the First tag and the baggage routing tag when grabbing your bag and pulled them off. It could be why it was last out on the belt, since they weren't 100% sure it was meant to be on that particular belt.

I've taken to padlocking my MPC baggage tags to my suitcases. It's a bit cumbersome but at least I know that unless my bag's been destroyed, its going to be there when it arrives.
