The following is a summarised report in Jakarta Post...
"A Garuda Indonesia flight attendant stopped an alleged theft attempt by two Chinese passengers who were spotted trying to take valuables from bags belonging to other passengers from the overhead compartment on board a flight from Jakarta to Batam on Wednesday. The attendant witnessed the two Chinese passengers open the overhead compartment and search for valuables inside other passengers’ luggage.

Maybe this is a fair warning for others to secure bags before putting in the overhead bins...I confess I keep all my tickets, passports, phone, laptop and other documents in my unsecured bag....no longer.

It has happened to me some years back. When you leave your seat to join the line waiting for the restroom it is easy access. I now lock all carry on baggage.
