I would have to agree with you. If it was a gate checked bag, someone was trying to steal from Yoda and I agree with your assessment of value. Remember before the non-lock rules went into effect, we were often warned not to lock bags because they were more frequently broken into because the theives were looking for valuble stuff. I don't have any stats or referrences, but it makes sense.
