Sorry for your loss. You might check with your homeowners insurance for possible coverage but you would have to deal with the deductible and the potential impact filing a claim would have. Not sure if you have travel insurance or if it would be of help in this case.
As others have stated, placing any valuable item in checked luggage is not a good option.

Your travel insurance will cover your loss. Just a good reason to always have this insurance as things like this do happen. Everyone makes mistakes when packing so no need for people to give you a hard time about this packing error. If we were all perfect, it would be a wonderful world!

Correct. Also, the baggage handlers in SXM are NOT employees of any of the US airlines. They are contract workers from one of several ground contract services in SXM.

We all make mental mistakes. I figure the reason why they took them was because of the Tag box. At least it wasn't the Tag they got!!

Tota2 said: Yes, but not inside the belly of the plane. Police feel the theft was done in flight. I am confused with this statement. Police feel the theft was done while the plane was actually IN FLIGHT?

Aren't the baggage holds accessed from OUTSIDE the plane? In the case of a small plane and they could be accessed from inside it would be very easy to see it happening. Also, with a small commuter plane you would have what, just one or possibly two attendants.

I was questioning what Tota2 was posting and not the original post. They mentioned a small commuter plane from Key West to Miami. I linked my response to Tota2.
