Priority tags are constantly getting ripped off on purpose

I thought this was a one off occurrence, but my Priority tags (First) are getting ripped off when I fly J and Y. This has happened on the last 4 out of 5 flights. Haven't flown F in the last couple of months. The last flight really pissed me off as I had to wait over 45 minutes for my bag to be delivered along with the non priority bags. out of 2 bags, one was ripped off. So there is no consistency.
As a Plat, one of the perks is priority handling and delivery of luggage, irrespective of class of travel.

Anyone else experience this, and does anyone have the inside on why this is being done. Seems extremely odd - do they have personnel tearing off tags??? it surely was there at check in.
