Quote: JohnnyQMy list of suspects would have the non-TSA baggage handlers at the top.
That would be my guess. It seems to be a rather common problem, with recent arrests/stings at JFK and Miami.
Here's an article about it:

Must've come from one of those rare whales they have to kill to make that stuff.

CNN: Hidden cameras reveal airport workers stealing from luggage
From the Article:
The Miami-Dade Police Department set up the camera as part of an ongoing police investigation into luggage thefts by the very airport workers who are supposed to get bags safely onto planes.
"It's a problem we all face," said police Lt. Pete Estis. "We will continue to be proactive until we can see that the claims of pilfering through luggage will actually decrease."
- So that's why ACE should file a Police Report, imho. Don't let the Airport Police have an EXCUSE to sit back and do nothing.
Quote: GWAEMaybe you left them in the safe.
I've actually worried about leaving money in a room safe. How would that be when you're 200 miles into your drive home when you go oh sh^t!
I usually leave something on the hotel room floor at the door, something you couldn't overlook that would ask you, "Why is the ironing board leaning against the wall next to the door?" Oh, I remember...
I do something similar at home if I have something important to do the next day. I might put a can of Comet on the vanity right in front of the sink.

I wouldn't put it past people who make basically $12-$15 an hour. If the TSA was really about Airport security they would hire actual professionals instead of high school dropouts
Speaking of next trip, at least you don't have a wife that see's you're down 9K on your return, and has very little to say to you for a couple days. And then looks at your diary from the trip and notices you were down 23k at the lowest point and decides she needs to say ALOT. Been sleeping on the couch ;-)
Good luck, good variance...and as always "thanks for the TR's"
My post-trip MLife tier total is 147,000
I believe the next level is Platinum at 200,000 which must be reach by october 1st in order to be valid the entire next year
Not sure I will make it by October 1st
you aren't getting now?
Quote: EvenBobWhat do you get at platinum that

MLife Tier comparison
But, apparently, each individual casino has their own separate perks ( I am trying to find a comprehensive list of those--anyone? )

Quote: TwoFeathersATLAce, at least YOU made it home safely.... Sorry the trip didn't have a happier ending, was one hell of a ride. There's always next trip. Also sorry for ribbing you about B79, was a lame joke.

Quote: speedycrapDid AOS actually buy that Remy Martin??? I did not see anything mentioned.
HAHA I have never even tasted it as I am not a cognac drinker lol
Having lost 8k total, I did not make my goal of +9150
It looks like I will have to make a few mini-trips to AC in an effort to reclaim my money!
I think it is entirely possible that the baggage thieves were divorcees in some weird Kharmic evening of the score? Somehow they can tell. Have you ever noticed the "look" when they know,,,you know that they know you know?Quote: aceofspadesQuote: Gabes22Quote: HullabalooThat would be my guess.

I have a female proctologist and I swear she is on some kind of power trip. And even though I was trying to hide it until after the procedure, she double dipped I am sure to prove her power, I must say it was humbling. I think she only got in the business to get even with men, but I am grateful she has small hands.
You are not going to get your cologne back anyway so when you file the police report, you may just as well report the theft was a gun. That would at least get them looking, and put a fire under tsa's asses.

See, Ace? There's always a silver lining.

I don't think it was silver, I think it was latex?

this could be a new record, one day back from vacation and I might have settled 3 active cases!

How many of the 3 will pay you promptly?
Quote: EvenBobHow many of the 3 will pay you promptly?
???
profit!
Quote: djatcGive your clients a loss rebate
???

Hahahahahaha
Some clients want a 99% LR and an interest free payment plan for the other 1%
That's a classic case of chasing.Quote: aceofspades

There's no such thing as "getting it back"
Unless you're playing +EV (I have no clue if that's the case ) you may keep digging and digging. I suggest advancing to super speed count and grinding it back 1 trip at a time. Just imagine if you had an extra 1% of the total action you put in from day one.

I guess you don't equate mini-trips with "grinding it back 1 trip at a time" :)
at a time.
I meant grind it back with a better method. You can't grind anything back if you have -EV. U can lucky it back but you could also dig deeper. Cant count on luck since you seem to be the unluckiest BJ player in the world. Running into a 16k to 1 and at least a 100k to 1 on Just this trip alone.Quote: aceofspadesI guess you didn't equate mini-trips with "grinding it back 1 trip at a time" :)
Now that's a good Idea... skip a few trips and just bet it all on 1 hand when the count is positive.Quote: EvenBobMini trip, maxi trip, it's all one hand
at a time.

Not great, but not that bad either. I've had it worse (previous wive(s)). The point was 'the next trip', not sure when/if I get to go. Apparently I've been 'grounded'. Now that is bad, really bad ;-(
