Someone has stolen my chuck!!

[apple_stik]

Last week like an IDIOT I packed my chuck in one of the outside pockets of my suitcase and checked it at the airport. I had put in a hard eyeglass case and thought it would be fine. Well, we when we picked up our bags at baggage claims it was gone. I feel so stupid!! Needless to say it put a huge damper on our trip. I didn't want to risk trying to carry it on and have it confinscated and put it in one of the outside pockets so I could get to it right away. Anyway, I hope whoever helped themselves to it enjoys it and then chokes on it. A big thanks to Sincit-E-Cigs for delivering a 510 kit to our hotel and saving my sanity and thanks to Wafflestomper for sympathy, I needed both! I've placed an order for 2 more (1 for backup), but still...I'm very bummed.

That's horrible! I wonder if whomever took it even knew what it was.

 

[keyzygirl]

They are still probably trying to figure that out.

 

[beecee]

Aww I'm so sorry to hear that! That really sucks!

Stupid thieves! ugh, that makes me so mad.

That's utter BS. We have all these strict TSA regulations, some a bit unreasonable, that are in place to protect people and prevent bad situations, but then there are always a few scumbags who take advantage.

I wonderif security or customs tookit thinking it was a bomb or something? I guess they would have grabbed you though. I would still go complain if I was you. That is really rotten. Karma will get them. I hope the battery blows up in their face.

its too late to file a claim.. most airports give you 24 hours to report damaged or missing property

The value of a Chuck is $80 -- that wouldn't even cover the deductible.

You could put in an enquiry to lost and found at the airport you left from. There's a remote chance that, when they couldn't figure out what to do with it, they sent it there.

When i read the title I was really hoping I was about to read that someone had one made with the same graphic you wanted. That's a bummer... I'm sorry.

 

[Lilibet]

apple_stik, I'm so sorry! I can only hope that somehow you manage to get it back.

I'm sorry to hear that your chuck was stolen. I HATE thieves. They should be shot dead, dead, dead. I hope the atty malfunctions, blows up and takes off half their face. Maybe a bit extreme, oh wait, no I hope they get seriously injured. Glad you got an extra ordered.

 

[ejoker]

if you find out who took it, i know a guy who knows a guy ....

Aww sorry to hear of your kidnapping! Hard to lose a first born Chuck child.

Pretty awesome about getting the vaping gear out to you though. Sounds like a rough trip. Hope you won a bit of cash for your next Chuck?

Man o man..if I ever see them Ill shove it down thier throat, pull it out thier rear end, have it sanitized n sent back to ya! That would more than infuriate me!!!!!!!!

true, my friend and I went to NY one yr after she had neck surgery---they stole her entire bottle of pain meds out of her bag...Imagine how ...... she was and how much alcohol she had to consume to control the pain.................s!

 

[apple_stik]

Thanks y'all for the sympathy and threats of bodily harm. Seriously though, it really is an awful feeling and I knew you all would understand. I truly don't know how people can live with themselves or what the heck they must be thinking. It's just pitiful. And someone's pain meds?? They probably really had to dig to find those in someone's bags. I don't know, just the thought is disgusting.

One thing I've learned though...lock those bags!!

Yeah but next time, just to be on the safe side, I'd put anything of value in my carry-on. I flew to New York last month and had no trouble with my Chuck going through security and I've read dozens of similar accounts from others too.

Locking your bags is tricky these days. If you don't use an approved lock that they can open with their master keys in case the x-ray sees something they deem suspicious, they can and will cut the lock off.

Anything important should be in your carry on which either goes in the overhead above you or under your seat.

Someone I worked with took a vacation immediately before an out-of-town sales meeting. She had 2 bags with her. The case with the stuff from her vacation got shoved in the overhead. She hung the garment bag with her work clothes in the big closet they used to have up front. When she went to get off, her garment bag was gone. Another passenger had helped him/herself to it. And, because she hadn't checked it, the airline wasn't liable.
