I would try to find out if your bag ever left HGK.
Personally, I think chances are high it disappeared in EWR
Great advice RE: Credit card. Also some credit cards give protection on theft or damaged items too, may limit to $1000 per year, but its something to look into. I think the United Presidential plus card does, some of the Amexes do....

Maybe homeowners insurance might kick in if you have it?
