The wedding ring alone was worth about $10k and represented 17 years of marriage. ARGH!!!! The airline baggage office in LA is totally unresponsive. I know I need to file a police report--but where?? OMA? LAX? Who can I talk to at NWA that will at least try and make a plea to have my stuff returned???
Moral of the story--no matter how tight your wedding ring is--wear it!! alost finger is a lot better than a lost mind....
Any help you can give is much appreciated!!
Did you leave your bag unlocked as TSA advises?
Even if the airline accepted responsibility, there is a limit that the airline will pay for lost baggage.
