I took a plane from Miami to Tampa last weekend returning from the trip to Europe. It was Flight # AA 3834 on Saturday, June 10, 2017. When I was boarding the plane I had to check in one of the bags which was too large to carry with me on board the plane. I had a small leather shoulder bag inside that luggage and a hundred-dollar bill inside the pocket left there when I packaged my luggage because I knew that I would always keep that luggage with me during the trip. The leather bag was on the bottom under all the clothes inside the luggage.
When I arrived to Tampa and checked my luggage bag returned from the plane, I noticed that the leather bag was now laying on top of my clothes. When I checked the leather bag for my money it was missing!!!
Just lesson learned - never trust American Airlines and Miami airport employees, they are plain crooks! And never leave valuable items in your checked-in luggage!
