Not really AF's fault.
Both CDG and ORY are notorious for their rings of smugglers among baggage handling staff - the most recent arrests were a month ago. I have had 2 bad experiences in the past year. A police report doesn't do much good. If you have valuable items, do NOT pack them in your luggage. Check with your personal insurer / credit card to see if you have coverage.
