You seem to have very bad luck with airlines and your luggage. And you seem to spend a lot of money replacing things, such as when Delta damaged your bag. Last time is was 700 pounds. Did you ever get that sorted out, applebum32? Or is it Lucy? Sorry, I can't keep up. In any case, you seem to have made a career of baggage claims, or perhaps just of hoping airlines will pay for stuff you buy to barter at Burning Man? Wait, this time you gave all the brand new stuff you bought to a thrift shop?
