I didn't argue with her because I didn't want to miss the flight, so i gave her the bag and left the laptop inside.

latest update I got was that they located the bag and it was being re-routed to me... but since I probably won't be in the UK by the time it comes back, I'm need to call them to figure out where they should send the bag next.
