If you want something done, contact PR services and get your story out. Send out a PRESS RELEASE.
It costs anywhere from $150 - $300 (pretty much the price of a ticket) to get a press release out, but it will be worth it and the company will cater to you, to make sure not to receive any more bad press.
I hope this helps with any future complaints.
Please don't use this method if it's a minor issue. Please be responsible and make sure it's a legitimate claim. (You really can cripple a perfectly legitimate company and service, with a flurry of bad press.)

Let me begin by stating my belief that theft of anything from a checked bag is inexcusable. It shouldn't occur but it does. That's just the reality of the world we live in. Even though due to the date you traveled the list of suspects is small, I highly doubt that the responsible party will ever be charged with the theft. Yes, security cameras are everywhere at an airport but you can bet the pilferage took place in a location known to this thief that is out of view of any surveillance.
IMO the theft of a $250 bottle of scotch
is, in the grand scheme of things, a minor issue. Why did you pack a bottle of JW Blue scotch to begin with? You flew from Buffalo to New York City. I'm quite sure you would have been able to find a bottle of JWB in NYC for the same price or maybe even less. You never left New York State so the tax would have been the same - unless you bought it in Canada which I know many people in the Buffalo area do.
Suppose the bottle had broken inside your bag? I guess we'd be reading a post about how the gorillas hired by Jetblue abused your bag and busted your expensive scotch. Had that been the case your only recourse to recover your loss would be to wring that JWB out of your socks because JetB wouldn'luet be liable for that either.
