My husband's grandmother passed away on 12/27 they are located near Seattle, WA. My husband and his sister flew out on 12/29 and returned late last night about 10pm. They each had a carry on, but the flight from Detroit to Fort Wayne was on a smaller plane and they made them check in their carry-on's at the gate. When he went to unpack this am, he noticed his government issued Blackberry and his brand new Ipad had been taken out of the front pocket. He called and filed a complaint/claim on line but the airline is pretty much saying "sorry for your loss". He didn't loose the items, they were taken out of his zipped bag.

I told him I couldn't believe he left the items in the pocket and he said he didn't think anything about it since the flight was only about 30 min.

Anyone ever had this happen, and if so did the airline do anything for you?

The Ipad does have a GPS on it, but it was turned off and is password protected, so unless the theif figures out the password, they will never connect to wifi which would allow us to take its whereabouts.
