I was on a flight from Toronto to Las Vegas, stop over in newark NJ, and at my destination I realized my jewelry was stolen from my bag I checked. So I paid $25 (it's not even free anymore to check ONE bag) to have someone go through my things and take them for themselves. Granted most of it was costume jewelry, however one bracelet I brought was worth a few hundred dollars. For anyone who would say I was pretty stupid to think it'd be secure.. why should I assume people who are employed and hopefully screened by United Airlines would steal my belongings? Why check bags, then? What reason would anyone have to go through my things after they were already seen by cutoms?

I am so disturbed by this, and of course missing my items which costume or not were MINE and NOT FREE, I'd like it if anyone at United got back to me whatsoever to apologize and replace the value.
