Amtrak rider claims her luggage, $3K in belongings were stolen

A Grinch stole her Christmas, too.

Cathleen Turner was aboard an Amtrak train traveling back to the Big Apple from Roanoke, Virginia when her post-Christmas spirits were soured: Her luggage was stolen.

The New Yorker claims that an estimated $3,000 worth of personal belongings — including her high-end athletic apparel, beauty products and Christmas presents — were swiped from the overhead compartment while she snoozed between the Newark and Pennsylvania Station stops in the wee hours of Tuesday morning.

“I understand that everyone is responsible for their own belongings, but also it was a $200 ticket,” Turner, 23, told The Post.

“This is not the subway, you know?” she added.

Turner’s woeful tale coincides with the rise in NYC thefts and pickpocketing during the holidays.

“I don’t know why, but this specific time, I just, like, had the thought before I got on the train, and I was like, ‘How awful would it be to get your luggage stolen on the train?’” said Turner, who is no stranger to the nine-hour ride from Virginia to New York. “I’ve never really thought about that until this time.”

She chalked it up to the Yuletide season, with her luggage toting precious gifts she had received the day prior.

Despite checking on her belongings every few hours throughout the “jam-packed” ride — “’tis the season, everyone’s traveling,” she quipped — Turner said she let her guard down during the last 30-minute leg of the journey to rest her eyes.

“It was 2 in the morning,” she explained, adding that the train began to empty as it got to New Jersey. “I was like, okay, I can relax a little bit. I’ve been staying up all day all night to make sure that everything is going according to plan.”

She admitted: “That was not a good decision by me.”

It wasn’t until she was awoken by the train conductors at 3 a.m. to exit the train that she realized her luggage had vanished. Unfortunately, none of the nearby passengers had witnessed the incident.
