As far as Jon's missing bag :
He didn't know of anything missing when he left camp.
He can't be sure WHERE he placed the bag in his vehicle if he DID have it when he left.
If it was placed in a spot easily accessible from outside the vehicle..... and IF he stopped ANYWHERE on his way home a thief could have grabbed it.
BUT...... Paul is at an age where he COULD be mistaken about the items left that he picked up.
I KNOW.
