pilferage of checked baggage contents

There are two parts to the subject of loss. Sadly, you hear stories all
the time of people making claims of loss from travel or otherwise that
are not accurate or fraud.

I am late reading this thread, and what's said in the paragraph above
is certainly true.

But I am familiar with the "urban legend" about scuba divers should
or should not check and whether they should or should not LOCK.

I have travelled literally millions of miles by air WITHOUT locking
my scuba luggage and very LOUDLY mark them to be SCUBA
related. I've checked regulators (very expensive), camera
equipment (less expensive) and other scuba related items for
YEARS leaving my luggage UNLOCKED (before air travel
regulation required them to be, after 9/11) long before 9/11
with MY theory that if theives want to steal my equipment, I
would rather they take it out and not CUT my bags (which
are also expensive :-)).

I had NEVER lost a single item in all these years of air travel
that could be attributed to "stealing" by luggage handlers.

I can't imagine anyone travelling with anything of value
that would be checked.

You have either very limited capacity in imagination OR a
very low limit on "anything of value"!

What else would be checked of value?

As I mentioned above: cameras? scuba dive equipments?

The ONLY loss I have ever claimed in my million miles of
air travel with UNLOCKED checked baggage was in 2002
and that was BEFORE my baggage was checked. :=)
Four pieces of luggage was stolen from my AUTOMOBILE
(in Honolulu) enroute to the airport. It was my HOME
INSURANCE policy that covered the full "replacement
cost" of all the stolen items. The total recovery was in
excess of $14,000 USD, far above anything the airlines
would have covered or my AIR TRAVEL insurance would
have covered, had those checked luggage items been
stolen while checked on flight.

There is MUCH urban legend about stolen items that
were checked -- my 20 years of air travel with SCUBA
and other valuable equipments on air travel (in unlocked
and loudly marked luggage that screams SCUBA)
would attest to my claim of "urban legend" in all the
unsubstantiated claimes by others about stolen or
pilfered checked items by airline luggage handlers.

Yup...it's STILL a MYSTERY...who STOLE the Odious "Reef Fish's"
BRAIN...???

Is it sitting all rotted in some unclaimed luggage office in Stockton
or Brno or Lhasa...???

Oh, and BTW a big fat "yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn" to your ridiculously
over -blown and pointless "story" below...

Your homosexual partner must have blinded your reading vision,
else that Bud Lite by the gallons must have impaired your reading
comprehension.

Try read it again while you're half sober, away from your homo-

Greg, you should go back to your trolling twin the toothless
EvelynVogtGamble.
She was definitely a GOOD influence on you. Now that she left you,
you
are going down the drain deeper and deeper everyday.

I did. They went right past my scuba gear and took the
jewlery and a few stray pesos. Took the watch as well,
probably thought it was gold or something. Something
valuable isn't so much an point of interest as something
easily converted to cash, such as gold, money, etc.
Most of them probably don't know the cost of many things
in luggage. They just know what they can easily sell,
pawn, whatever. You could probably leave a $5000
piece of diagnostic test equipment and have no problem,
but have a $100 watch sitting right next to it stolen.

morrow the racist ape is also polluting this poor group ?
