Another reason never to check anything valuable with your baggage...
Almost seems worse if they stole from a kid...
Though I have never had anything stolen from my luggage, I have had it rifled through with no tag that it had been opened left....

A Sacramento boy returned from a family trip to discover his birthday money was missing from his luggage. When he and his mom struggled with airport security, they called Kurtis Ming.
After a birthday trip to San Diego, 12-year-old Jeffery Martin flew home from San Diego a couple hundred bucks richer. He thought his wallet with the $265 bucks in birthday money would be safe inside a bag he checked.
“I had one hundred, three fifties, one ten, and five ones,” he says.
“We got home he was excited to open it up and show me all his birthday money. He brought it in and opened it up and it was just like it had been ransacked,” says Jeffery’s mom Kim.
It was money he planned to use toward his next trip this summer.
Jeffery said everything had been moved around in his bag. The inside zipper was left open, and he claims there was no inspection tag left. Kim called Southwest. She followed their recommendation, calling the TSA baggage supervisor in San Diego.
“Can't we just check the video, can't we just check the camera I mean I can describe the suitcase it had a yellow ribbon on it, she says we don't have camera's back there,” says Kim.
