I can read just fine, thanks.
Let me re-word: what is the connection between number of bags in the OH and your sympathy for damaged belongings?
My point is that the number of items in the OH has no direct impact on the fact that they were damaged. It would be different if someone placed fine crystal in a plastic grocery bag up there (as an extreme example), since that indicates there was more they could have done within their control to protect their belongings.
I'm 100% with you on strongly disliking people who hog OH space, I just don't think it's relevant to OP's story.
