The sad reality is that valuables are stolen from checked luggage all the time. This is an unacceptable situation and one that the airports, airlines and TSA should crack down on much harder than they appear to be doing. However, it is unfortunately the way things are and therefore valuables should never be placed in checked luggage. If you cannot carry your valuables on with you, you need to make some other arrangement such as having them fed-exed or in fact anything rather than leaving them to the mercy of the seemingly professional theives who have access to checked baggage.
