To establish negligence (I assume this is what you'd want to prove) you'd have to show that AA breached some duty of reasonable care, either by not having adequate procedures in place to secure your bag (including perhaps not having sufficient warnings about credit card theft), or possibly for negligently hiring a thief. No idea what the chances are of prevailing on something like that but you could ask a lawyer if you have significant damages that aren't covered by your credit cards.
