I haven’t had anything stolen because as a former frequent airline traveler, I NEVER check anything. But I have sat on the taxiway, watched a suitcase fall off a baggage cart onto the tarmac, and sit there, in the rain, for over an hour before anyone bothered to come out and pick it up. ‘Nuff said.
That's what you get when you pay baggage handlers minimum wage, and supervisors only slightly more. A well packed lens would have survived. I'm really more interested in the stolen question. When I travel on a photo trip my carry-on limit is filled with my photo gear and I check my clothing and other items. When I travelled on short trips for duty I never checked anything either, but that was years ago. How do you handle your stuff now with baggage and carry-on limits?
