Upon deplaning, after I opened the overhead compartment above 1A, I noticed the passenger seated in 1A remove his carryon bag. I was puzzled and dumbfounded, and immediately asked the flight attendant if they had moved my carryon bag. Passenger in 1A said he did not move my carryon bag.

What would you have done in this situation?
It has happened to me once and identical to what you described - I was upset and angry. I was also concerned -had someone stolen it - it added to anxiety - so in future, I will not do as posters describe.

That I struggle with - it still pisses me off now as this thread has resurrected the memory.
