Having layers (first the airlines and then Unclaimed Baggage) makes it not just twice as unlikely but thousands of times less likely that belongings will be stolen in the way you describe. Managers of a family-owned business in operation for nearly fifty years have to have low time-preference and future orientation enough to realize that scamming an expensive item would be foolish when they have an entire warehouse of legitimately acquired merchandise. Moreover, the goodwill from a story about reuniting a sentimental memento or a hard-to-replace valuable (“That laptop had the only copy of my dissertation!”) is most certainly in their business interest.
