An otherwise perfect weekend vacation has been ruined by the fuckhead who stole a $500-plus camera out of my bag Friday, and I’m 99% sure it has to be a Delta baggage handler. I flew to Cleveland on fairly short notice to party with a very special friend of mine for the weekend in order to send her off properly to her new job in France. I’m generally not much of a picture-taker and have rarely owned a camera in my life; this passed weekend was no exception. I did want pictures, but the camera was actually bought for and owned by my place of work which makes this particularly complicated. Now I have to figure out how to tell my boss tomorrow that I’ve just put him in the uncomfortable position of having to advocate for another $500 in state money to replace the camera which I took it upon myself to “borrow” but failed to return (assuming he doesn’t expect me to pay out of my own pocket which I really couldn’t blame him for, but which is really far beyond my means right now). I wrote Delta a letter of complaint which, my anger and frustration today having gotten the better of me, probably has a tone (not to mention length) that a more level-headed me wouldn’t have written (or at least not with the primary goal of getting a response from Delta). I haven’t sent it yet, (I’m exhausted and cranky and should probably sleep on it) but I’m posting it here just for the sake of completing the catharsis before I sleep. (despite my threat at the end, this is really the only place I’m posting it at this time). > [@](#): > > August 28, 2006 > > Dear Delta; > > I’m writing to let you know my extreme disappointment with my experience this passed weekend on one of your flights, specifically a theft of a very expensive camera from my checked in bag, and the Kafkaesque runaround I got from customer service regarding the incident. > > It was on the following flight: > > Flight 5541 > Friday, August 25th > Departing: JFK at 8:55am > Arriving: CLE at 10:45am > > I arrived to check in at approximately 7:30am with only a single knapsack which, owing to the fact that it contained hair gel and a bottle of water, I was forced to hand over to your baggage handlers (along with my trust). I took a last drink from my water bottle, placed the bottle right on top in the large zippered compartment of the bag, and left it with TSA. When I arrived in Cleveland I quickly claimed my bag on the first cycle of the carousel, insuring I was the only one to handle it at this point. > > I immediately noticed the bag felt lighter and seemed less bulky than I’d remembered, but I was short on sleep and just assumed it was my own error. But then I opened it to find my water bottle missing and clothing rearranged, and in my tired state an explanation seemed obvious – TSA must’ve done a security check and disposed of the bottle (though I was fairly certain that water was permitted in checked baggage again I assumed it must be my own error). > > It wasn’t until hours later while at the house where I was to be staying for the weekend that I’d discovered my Canon Powershot digital camera missing from a pocket in a completely different zippered compartment of the bag. Immediately I called Delta’s baggage service department where a representative stolidly informed me that Delta’s insurance would not cover missing electronic equipment from baggage and that I should contact TSA (which I did) since it is them, and not Delta, that actually conducts the baggage inspections. I also called the Lost & Found of both airports to no avail. > > There wasn’t much more I could do that day from where I was, but when I arrived back at JFK this morning I went through, in person, much of exactly what I’d gone through on the phone three days earlier: An indolent Delta Baggage Office agent (incidentally this is the second one I’d spoken to today, the first in terminal two having sent me over to the office in terminal three for some reason) was quick to deny responsibility, while at the same time implicating TSA. She opened a “courtesy file” for me (JFKDL36125) which seemed more a vacuous gesture intended to pacify a customer for the moment, rather than an effective measure in addressing the issue. > > Though I fully intend to file a claim with TSA, I’m fairly confident that they are not to blame; there was no note left in the bag as there should have been if they inspected it; in the brief time that a bag is in their possession they are under constant video surveillance and they know that; and they were considerably more professional and genuinely concerned about my plight than the Delta employees I spoke to (which is quite surprising for a number of reasons!), and that includes at least two supervisors. > > I would think (and hope) that Delta would be outraged by the possibility that their employees could steal from their customers in such a manner, yet, and despite my patience throughout much of this, I was made to feel more like a nuisance than a victim. Moreover, as best as I can tell, there doesn’t seem to be any safeguards preventing this! With no traceability, no policy in place to insure baggage contents, and TSA as a convenient scapegoat, what is there to deter one from freely rummaging through anyone and everyone’s bag? > > Admittedly, I may not be the most savvy traveler, and this letter may be quite naïve for all I know – perhaps it is common knowledge that it is unwise to place valuables in the trust of baggage handlers – but I am internet savvy enough to post and email this letter to as many message boards, blogs, and news sources as I can. If this is an isolated or rare incident than none of this will matter much to anyone (but me). However, if there are at least a few out there who may have been recently frustrated by similar experiences, perhaps Delta will share in the outrage. ---

A co-worker of mine recently had his X-box stolen from his checked bag. I don’t think he wrote a letter to anyone or made any attempt to reclaim the lost goods. He simply shrugged it off as a seemingly unavoidable part of traveling. Playing the odds and loosing, as it were. I, however, was pissed off after hearing the story. Why should they be able to rifle through your belongings and keep whatever they want? If there is video, whose watching it and whose in kahoots with whom? ---

Well, not much to do but chalk it up to experience. Several people could have gone through the bag at either end, and there is no way to prove that an employee of any specific company or agency might have carried out the theft. Regardless of that, I’m afraid I can’t work up a whole lot of sympathy for the OP. Why would anyone leave an expensive camera in a soft bag like a checked _knapsack_? Even without the theft, there’s a better than even chance that the machine could be damaged during handling. Why, other than sheer laziness, would the OP not remove the camera and carry it on board? I’m sure the OP doesn’t want to hear this, but if I were the boss, damn right I’d be expecting the OP to buy a new camera out of his own pocket. ---

Yes, it’s strange. They spend billions of dollars to keep nail clippers and bottled water off planes, but they don’t seem to invest much in the security of baggage handling. ---

You really ought to replace the camera before even mentioning that you borrowed it to your manager. (On the bright side, these things get cheaper all the time, so it might cost less now.) I doubt that the airline is responsible for replacing the camera, per this statement from their [website](http://www.delta.com/legal/index.jsp), “No liability for electronic equipment, photographic equipment, jewelry, cash, computer equipment, or other similar valuable items.” And even if the camera weren’t missing, I’d be worried about putting it in a checked bag with a water bottle. What if the bottle leaked or broke? ---

I am a former baggage handler and apologize for the sticky fingers of my union brothers. However, I agree it’s like the CD case on the front seat or the $20 in the back pocket in that there are some people who cannot help themselves; if they see a pretty bauble they have to take it. It’s not fair for one of us to leave a stolen camera right there, tempting them, because we were too cheap to pitch a half a bottle of water and some hair goop. Good God, you acted massively and publicly stupid, yet you want us and Delta to sympathize with you? You’ve been here six years; what gave you the idea that would happen? ---

IOW, if he did not tell Delta about the camera, Delta is nor responsible. And if he DID tell Delta, they would require him to sign a release. (C) It’s a public agency’s camera???

Wow so let me get this straight…Delta says they aren’t responsible for your electronics if they get broken from the time you drop your bags off to the time you pick them up. Fair enough - they’re not running a Precious Things Daycare. However…they’re not responsible if it gets stolen either?! WTF? So this gives all Delta employees a WRITTEN LIST of things they’re allowed to steal from baggage? But if all of my $10 pants get stolen out of my luggage, then I can complain? I’m not a seasoned traveller (only been on a plane 4 times) and it would NEVER occur to me that my camera, safely tucked between 12 pairs of socks, is fair game for my airline to “misplace” simply because it’s expensive. I agree that the OP was an ass for taking the company’s (the government’s!) camera w/o asking but it still doesn’t un-boggle the face that Delta can just shrug it off. ---
