Most annoyed to find one of our checked bags had the lock cut off and had been opened and the contents rifled. This is the second time this has happened in the last 6 months. Last time we lost some clothing and a possum fur cap we'd specially bought from NZ. Not impressed.
Not quite sure what's missing yet but MrsTMA is a meticulous packer with an absolute place for everything, all neatly packed, layered and secured. At least one set of earrings we bought in Tofino are gone, strangely they didn't take two other sets we'd bought as presents. None of these were very expensive however. Sometimes we photograph the inside of the case but this time we didn't bother since we were on the way home.
We didn't actually lose much, I think. It's more the annoyance of thieves rifling your luggage. Luckily they didn't rifle the other two larger bags and get my 6 bottles of Willamette Valley Pinots! Phew.
We have filed a complaint with EK and are waiting a response. One of the prices one pays for priority luggage tags it seems.
NOTE: NEVER pack valuable items in checked luggage. And absolutely NEVER pack irreplaceable items, medicines, valuable documents, phones, cameras, computers, camera and phone charges and things you cannot survive without in checked luggage. You will sooner or later have them stolen, unfortunately.
One would naively expect CCD security on baggage handlers and storage but this seems to be only used as a good laugh by baggage authorities.
