I did not pass USA and this was the first time it had gone missing. No there was no strap inside the bag. I did not seem to notice that I have lost anything either. Lots of people have these belts on.

Check in agents (Virgini and BA in UK), Delta in the USA, Singapore in Asia and SAA in South Africa would often tell me I have to remove it b/c it could get caught in the bagged machinery. Maybe it got caught and broke or a "helpful" handler just cut it and removed it.
That could be it but I had tightened it very much so there is no loose play at all.
