That you got anything.

If you read the "Contract of Carriage" which is basically the terms and conditions of your flight you will find a section on their liabilty for checked bags.  You will see that you are limited to a very small amount of compensation and it specifically excludes the more valuable items such as electronics.  Oh..and EVERY air carrier has these same terms.  This is why it is always suggeted to keep those items with you..yes even if it would cost you $5 more.

The fact is that you have zero proof that SPIRIT had anything to do with this.  Just at the airport there may be 2-3 different groups that touch the luggage.  This includes the Spirit Employees when you check it in, but from there it gores through TSA, from there is may or may not go back to Spirit or another outside contractor.   Not only that but on the arrival you have another set of employees that may or may work for Spirit.  This is not even to mention if your bag was ever out of your site from the Hotel, or any shuttles you may have taken.   There is even a possibility that you didn't get to the baggage claim fast enough and another person got to your bag..took a couple of quick items and put your bag back on the belt before you even saw it.

Also, I would put doubts into your claim that a 3 Year Old Baseball glove was in "mint" condition.  The only way it would be in mint condition is if you didn't use it, but then if you didn't use it why would you pack it in your Carry-On for a trip?  It just doesn't make sense.  Also, I would understand about having the receipts for the camera, but for a 3 Year Old glove? 

Not sure what you think is equitable, but if you think you are going to get anything close to the full value of the Camera and Glove..you are going to be very disapointed.
