This seems to be a common theme on here.

While flying from Austin to Houston (5/18/11, CO1573) and continuing on to Calgary AB I was told at the gate that my carry-on bag would have to be checked for the flight, when I got on the plane there were other bags the same size as mine and there was still room in the overhead bins for mine. I was however not told that I would not get my carry-on back after the flight, which had always been the norm in any other flight I had taken. Expecting to get my carry-on back I had left my medication and jewelery in it as this is where the airlines recommend you carry such possessions. My jewelery was in a small blue box in the top outside pocket, the box was small as I only took one change of earrings and one necklace. When I arrived in Calgary everything was gone.
