While traveling to Miami, FL on Feb 8, 2008 on American Airlines out of Chicago O'Hare. After going through security and check-in, after arriving at our hotel in Miami we discovered our brand new in-the-box underwater camera was no longer in the box. They were kind enough to leave the empty box however. The thieves also lifted a spare battery to another camera thinking they were getting the battery to the underwater camera. So this rip-off was in excess of $450.00, I reported the theft to American Airlines at 800-433-7300 and got a response of "the items you are claiming, unfortunately, American Airlines is not liable for them, we will not be able to reimburse you for them".

#1 Consumer Suggestion
Next Time Carry Your Camera
AUTHOR: Karl - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, June 29, 2008
The airlines have long told you that packing valuables, jewelry, cameras, etc in checked baggage is unwise. Back in the old days you could lock a bag and normally no one would open it. Now TSA can examine the contents as well as the airlines and your checked baggage is x-rayed which exhibits to the employee who screens it exactly what is in the bag. You should have followed the advice of the airline. Next time take valuables in a carry-on so that they are in your control at all times.
