Does AA reimburse you if items in your baggage are stolen?
Don't know about AA, but UA policy is
Liability for the loss of, damage to or delay in delivery of a Passenger’s personal property, including Baggage, when such personal property or Baggage has been checked (unless a higher value is declared in advance and additional charges are paid and personal property is not otherwise excludable), is limited to USD 3,400 per Ticketed Passenger. Passenger will be responsible for documenting and proving the actual value of the loss.
Some airlines limit liability for sporting equipment. Check with AA.
You can buy extra liability insurance for something like $1 for every $100 of valuation.
