I had to check in a bag at the departure gate for DL 173 on August 16, 2010. I had taken this bag on flights many times and no one ever said anything. According to the ground crew's instructions, I checked it in at the gate and removed everything valuable I could find -- except a gold necklace -- that I had forgotted was in the bag. And you guessed it, when I arrived at my destination in Taipei it was gone. Someone along the way had ripped open the box and stolen it. In addition, the memory card for my son's new PSP was stolen right out of my luggage that was checked in at curbside.
I HAVE NEVER HAD THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE. WHAT IS GOING ON? IS THE PROBLEM AT JFK OR ALONG THE ROUTE?
