FlyerTalk member ff_flyer99 wants to know if there are Two Airlines, Opposite Alliance but Same PNR: Earn Mileage on two accounts?

More specifically, here is what ff_flyer99 asks:

“If I have a booking with AC and then connecting to BA where both the AC and BA sectors are under the same PNR and I have a FF account with AC (to earn AC miles) and a FF account with CX (to earn BA miles) where both the AC and BA booking classes are mileage accurable to those respective FF programs, is it possible for me to earn mileages on the AC flight to the AC account and the BA flight to the CX account when both the AC and BA flights are under the same PNR? If so how does it work? Do I have to call both AC and BA to give them the respective FF # or can my Travel Agent input both FF accounts into the same PNR?”

In a quest to find a little bit of — er — relief, FlyerTalk member schley left an open laptop computer with some other belongings alone for a few minutes in a crowded airport lounge near the bathrooms, only to find all of his belongings moved approximately ten feet away to a different area upon his return.

FlyerTalk members discuss whether or not this a truly a case of BAD etiquette in Airline Lounge, or if could schley have been more proactive to prevent this — or something worse — from happening? Did schley ever find out who was the culprit and, if so, what happened next?
