Coming back from an amazing time in NYC for Internet Week, I was reminded why one should never check bags. I flew from New York to Chicago with a layover in Philadelphia all on US Airways. When I arrived at my final destination my bag was missing. I filed a complaint and was told it should arrive on the next plane and would be hand delivered to me that night. 24 hours later it finally arrived…well some of it did.

My bag had been picked through and the following items were stolen:

* Nikon D40X DSLR Body
* 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX
* 55-200mm f/4-5.6 ED AF-S DX
* Nikon camera remote
* Nikon SB-600 Speedlight
* lens polarizers
* lens cleaning cloth
* 2 Nikon camera batteries
* Package of 12 lithium ion AA batteries
* 2 GB SD card
* 3-4GB SD cards

Whatever, just make a claim with the airline.

Unless you're in some godforsaken country where that won't get you your stuff.

I would cry if that was me, although I would NEVER check my camera.

Good luck; I hope you get your camera back. I won't go into detail, but I was reimbursed by somwhere for a stolen camera and wound up getting a better model for the same price (no, I don't mean HURR DURR DUMP THE D40X, I'm not going to preach on gear to someone I don't know), so sometimes these situations can work out.

Kinda maddening, though. Did you lose any pictures?

lol retards assuming the OP is the one who lost their shit.

And the lesson from this seems to be: If you can, carry on all your camera gear. This stuff is a favourite for the thieves working in baggage to go for, although those bastards will take anything. They must hire people directly from the prison work-release or some shit to have so much thievery going on.

If it is too much to carry then you'd have to look into secure hard cases and stuff like some of the pros moving a lot of gear use

Why do people leave electronics in check in luggage? and wasn't the luggage locked or sealed or something?

It's a bad idea to lock checked luggage. Legally they're allowed to look inside, and if its locked they can just cut open the lock (or the bag if they feel like it).
