Problem for Hal is the number of sticks he brings everywhere. He'd be one of those guys trying to stuff giant "handcarry" luggage in the overhead compartment, holding up the whole boarding process. Hell, I'm surprised they don't check his luggage through the oversized/bulky claim area.

Thanks for all the comments on filing a claim. I think I will make a complaint. Looks like they stole one of my lusis. Dirty Bastages.

Volt- I was only passing through so I didn't have time to hang out. Sorry man.

KenS- No CoRo stolen.

I will see you soon enough.

Steve- Travel Stealing Authority- Hilarious!

My carry on was already loaded up and I couldn't pack them in there.

Sage words. You have to plan a little in advance as far as logistics with your other travel paraphernalia, but I go under the assumption that either a power tripping TSA theif or a garden variety thug will always have access to every part of my luggage.
I had a prototype Evertorch in my checked luggage a couple years ago, in a ziploc, and not only did they pull it out, but they took apart every screw on it, and tossed it loose back in the luggage. Trying to find a 1/8" long screw in your luggage when you unpack it is annoying enough, not knowing if you already sent it flying with a pair of jeans when you unpacked it, but at least they didn't abscond with it altogether.
I try to travel as light as I can, but I would rather wrestle with a slightly larger carry-on than put anything with the luggage monkeys. The saddest part is that the guy who stole your lusi probably thought it was a great size to make a party blunt out of... tried, and the wrapper exploded on him and he ended up round filing it.

That would irritate me to no end. I would definitely carry through with a complaint.

Personally, the only things I check are clothing and my shaving kit. Anything I take having any value to me in the least, I carry on. No exceptions.

Theft and corruption has always been a part of travel to certain foreign countries. I've always figured that into the equation when traveling internationally. Sadly, we now have the same caliber of people "keeping us safe" here at home via the TSA. Pretty sad.
