This weekend I had the unfortunate coincidence of (1) leaving my bag in my car and (2) having someone rifle through the cars in our garage. Of course my bag went missing and is presumably MIA. My bag had my computer, some wireless headphones and a few other things. Mostly a pain in the neck - the computer's encrypted and nothing is ever saved only locally on it. Still an expensive lesson.
I'll be able to replace most or all of it, but I'm wondering if I should be thinking about a different bag. I've had the one I was using for 15-20 years. It's a Timbuk2 bike messenger bag similar to this one:

It's primary use is to carry crap to and from work and/or to and from kids activities. Usually inside of it - a computer, wireless headphones in a case, reading glasses, pens, business cards, etc. May also have gym clothes (clean or sweaty) and/or mini-dopp kit for periodic spurts of athletic pursuits at the local Y.
Other use cases: bag to bring crap to and from work via bike; carry-on bag with stuff for the plane; overnight on a last-minute business trip; weekend bag.
So while this one is versatile enough to buy again, I want to make sure that I'm not missing anything else I might want to think about. What do you use that might be better for me?
Thanks.
