That's amazing, it's the same combination I have on my luggage!

Whoa.. I really remember this from somewhere recently.... but I can't pin it down. Halp?

Space Balls. And if I'm not mistaken, that gentleman is Mel Brooks himself.

Change the combination on my luggage!

OT: Is there no way to regain a Steam Account that has been hijacked? That would be a somewhat big financial loss for me.

This is invisible text!

Sounds like either Steam accounts are easy to hack or you have keylogger or something similar. I wouldn't bet on first one. :)

what's the point of hijacking a steam account?

If you hijack, might as well use pirated copies of games and not worry about logging in...
Especially if you get caught and kicked out this fast ^^

Glad to hear you got it back. And yes, time for a virus scan...
