Well the same happened with me. I was Traveling from Brussels to amsterdam(Schipol Airport) on train. While crossing rotterdam i noticed that some stole my handbag which was kept right up in the overhead compartment. The strange part was i never slept the whole way.Reaching I informed the Police. I lost Several of my important documents, because of which i faced lot of problems later. well sitting at the Schipole Airport police station i saw many people coming with similar cases, mainly all tourist.
Lesson learned, no matter which part of world you traveling be cautious of your own belongings.

I’m sure he was shocked to have this happen in Europw where people aren’t driven to a life of crime by rampant poverty. This traveler would not have had the same experience in his home country because he would have chained and padlocked his lugggage to his seat. When my friends took me to the train for the first time in Delhi, they bought a chain and lock on the platform so this wouldn’t happen to me. Of course, that chain and lock was stolen from the outside pocket of my bag two months ago when I chacked my bag on a flight from Bogata to Lima.Another lesson learned. Don’t put things in the outside pockets of bags. It’s an easy place for baggage handlers to access.
