I couldn't imagine not wanting my stuff back -- even if it's just regular clothes. But if I didn't, I couldn't imagine hauling it to the airport in the first place.
Good question - I should have explained more about my bags contents.
The bag contained an $80.00 boom box and we waited at the carousel for about an hour and our car service was about to start charging us double which would have been more that the $80.00 price of the boom box.
