Narrative:
Departed phl-den. Next day in den, ramp agent informed us we had departed phl without over 2000 pounds cargo and luggage, yet it was included in the weight and balance manifest. Said our weight and balance was way off. No unusual flight characteristics were encountered this time. He said he was reporting the event. In my opinion, this is criminal. Results could have been extremely dangerous. Needs immediate attention.
