Me too.Been there - done that! Only 2 scissors though!

I did not mind losing the scissors, but the Swiss Army knife was embossed and one of the first gifts I gave to Mr Seat 0A when he was just the boyfriend back in 1982. Luckily we had time to go out, put it in a back pack and check that in, even though we didn’t originally intend to.We lost a good Swiss Army knife
I used to do a bit of dressmaking once upon a time. I had a garment carefully pinned together which somehow ended up in my carry on . They let me keep the garment, but I had to remove every single pin! Imagine terrorising flight staff with a dressmaking pinThis morning when I packed my bag to check in, I forgot to pack my toiletries bag. Rather than unlock it and move stuff around, I just put it in my backpack to carry on, without giving it much thought.
3 pairs of scissors and a waiters friend were confiscated at security. $50 or so gone.

I hope you're okay! I've always wondered how the LDW stuff works, whenever I rent a car in the US I'm holding my breath. Is it $0 with an LDW if you're in a no-fault accident?Not sure if I should post in this thread or travel insurance thread. We’re in Washington state, USA. Managed to get T-Boned by a truck. Luckily, in a low speed zone.
I paid for a Loss and Damage waiver on the rental car, so it looks to be a monetary free mistake.

Does that increase the rental cost?There’s no dealing with any insurance company.

In Thailand I only ever take the basic insurance offered which is usually 5,000-10,000 baht maximum for any accident and 30,000 baht if car is stolen.
From memory I have $5000-$6000 rental insurance excess with $0 excess for any claim. Am I not covered? I don't mind dealing with travel insurance but luckily have never had an issue with hire cars.

Thanks, we’re ok. LDW seems better than insurance.
There is no excess (in my agreement at least) and applies even if you’re at fault. There’s no dealing with any insurance company.
