Re: employee going through personal stuff
As to your email, the courts have allowed employers to access such items on their own computers. If this was not an employment-related account, I'm wondering how they knew your password. As to the "bag", you didn't specify what this was and what items were in it. If they were personal and not office-related items, you are certainly entitled to a return of those items. If you know who is responsible and they refuse to return such items, you could file a replevin action in court.
