Here's what can happen when you check your bags on your way out of JFK Airport:

Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown, joined by Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Superintendent of Police Samuel J. Plumeri, Jr., announced today that luggage handlers for Swissport USA, Incorporated -- a ground service provider at John F. Kennedy International Airport -- have been charged with grand larceny and possession of stolen property in the unlawful removal of lap top computers, cameras, printers and other expensive electronic equipment valued at $23,000 from airline passenger baggage.

Some of the stolen property was later sold to undercover detectives and on eBay, an online retail auction company.

Note to crooks: It's usually a bad idea to try to fence stolen goods on the web, or to cops.
