Thanks!!!
THe problem I am now having is that AA (besides quoting domestic policy and denying responsibility) is trying to say that they turned it over to the international carrier on "either July 26th or 27th" and that it would be "impossible" for it to be in AA's hands after the 27Th because i"t did not show up in any of their logs". He could not explain why I tended to believe the international carrier (ELAL)when they said they did not receive it until Saturday night the 28th since they are not open on Fridays or Saturdays (until after sundown) and the bag arrived at EWR after the last Thursday flight left EWR. Any more great advice would be appreciated. They still have not filed a stolen item report since they are attempting to blame the theft on EL AL.




QUOTE=serfty;19071156]Since this was an international connection, it falls under the "Montreal Convention" and AA cannot deny responsibility for the loss of valuable/fragile items etc. such as an iPad.
