Looks like it's time to send the water memo out again. All the newbs don't realize how much that water bottle costs and how much we cost our partners when we think that we deserve a bottle of water. I have a reusable 6 ounce paper dixie cup that I just keep putting more duct tape on because I'm a team player. I'm sure some management suck-up will print this off and show that people are taking the bottles off the plane.
I have a crew tag on mine, but only because I have had my bag taken off the plane before and I like to be able to tell it apart from others. But the neon yellow is a nice touch.

And for that reason I still keep that big ugly yellow tag on my suitecase in a vain attempt to hope that no passenger in the future will be as oblivious to remove my bag like that again...

I've had pax try to walk off with mine before, too. Most recent was a Mexican dude whose actual bag was covered with a floral print; he knew the bag he grabbed wasn't his. His was probably empty.

I carry a master lock and chain it to a random first class seat. Play dumb when the gate agent asks why that seat is MEL'ed.

Fortunately this guy was genuinely oblivious in my situation and I got my bag back the next day. Even if I lost it at least I didn't have anything of value in there. A trip's worth of clothes, shoes and some toiletries. Woohoo what a haul... All the expensive gadgets and important documents stay up front with me in my flight bag.

Mine got swiped on an international turn. No Bueno.
Don't worry that bag will soon look as beat as a 200 after all the OBR and DH'ing they'll be doing on reserve.
