Narrative:
We departed las uneventfully using the bag count that we were given. Airplane flew and acted just fine. Enroute we got a message from dispatch that the bags that were supposed to be in CP1 were actually in CP4. No action taken on our part. Discussed event with first officer and thought no more about it. Trip continued without trouble.in the future I as well as other pilots should pay closer attention to where the bags are actually placed and not just rely on the paperwork. Also it would be helpful if the paperwork was given to the crew only after all the bags are loaded. The calling up and reporting that 20 extra bags are added to CP1 as an example are just disruptive and generally go without consideration.
