its easy for me to be smart and brave after the fact, but I would probably raise a bigger stink and insisted.
In worst case I would ask for some sort of valuation and receipt from them.
Its all moot now - your only options are to work with UA.
Unless you bought a ticket with a credit card that gives you automatic travel insurance.
Have you checked http://www.united.com/web/en-US/apps...e/tracing.aspx
I would try to find out if your bag ever left HGK.
Personally, I think chances are high it disappeared in EWR
