The boarding passes show Airports of Montenegro on them as LH does not do its own check in at TIV. Our luggage receipts are attached for through checked bags TIV-MUC-DUB. The large part of the TIV-MUC boarding pass was ripped off at the boarding gate prior to boarding the plane. All we each have is the small stub for the TIV-MUC flight. We have the passport stamps showing the exit from Montenegro that day. It's in the Schengen area and since we were in transit at MUC to DUB (DUB being a non-schenghen city) we did not have to pass through German immigration. As you mentioned, had we actually no-showed TIV-MUC then LH would have had to off-load our bags and cancel the onward MUC-DUB flight, neither of which happened. We would have had to reenter the Schengen zone that day which is not in our passports. But, given the absurdity of having to get any other "irrefutable" evidence such as third party time stamped photos (which I know you say admit is overkill) , I just resign myself to letting go of the issue. But this has been an interesting exchange.
