Camera Equipment and Airlines

I've been traveling a lot lately, and on my most recent trip, I made the mistake of packing my camera in my checked luggage. I know better, but just wasn't thinking. Of course, that is the time when the airline looses my luggage. :wxwax After talking with the luggage dept there at baggage claim, and getting my paperwork filled out....I read the official policy printed on the form they give you. It states that if they can't find your bag in 5 days, you can submit claim letters for replacement of items, etc. They state a maximum replacement total value of approx $2500...however, they have a long laundry list of things they are not liable for...and photographic equipment is one of them. Doh! Luckily, the bag was found the next day, and was returned to me unharmed and intact. It certainly had me worried for a bit.
Anyway, most of you probably already know better then to pack your camera in your checked bags, but I thought I would share my story just in case. I certainly learned my lesson.
:huh

Bad vibes but thankfully everything worked out OK. Good of you to share the story as a warning.
