Checked baggage thievery. While writing this review is probably more effort than the monetary loss on my return trip from Punta Cana on October 23, I feel it is time to vent. We have been flying United Airlines from Phila to Punta Cana since 2011. Over this time, I have paid for checked baggage only to have small items stolen from our luggage on the return trip from Punta Cana. These are not large value items, small LED flashlights, scissors and small but costly Swiss army knives. Thanks to TSA, I cannot carry a 1 inch long blade on my key chain swiss army knife with my carry on. Go figure. So I pack it in my checked bag only to find it is not in the luggage when I arrive in Phila. As I said before, this has happened sever times before with other small items. To make this more annoying, I paid $35 for the luggage which IMHO should have been included in the price of the ticked as is normal for all other international travel that I do. So if anyone from AA reads this reiview, please tll me what I need to do to prevent these thefts going forwars?
