Con Air.

So my cool new HD camcorder, the one I got for my birthday a couple months ago that records to SD cards and that I really really liked? Yeah, it's gone. Some asshole stole it.

As you may have read on Scott's blog, he went to San Diego this week for work. So coming home last night, he had to take a small commuter flight from San Diego to LAX, where he then boarded a regular airliner to Seattle. Well, somewhere along the way his suitcase got lost. Someone forgot to put it on a plane, or take it off, whichever, point is, it wasn't there when he arrived in Seattle. And he wasn't at all happy about it.

Well, this morning, we get a call from Alaskan Airlines saying they found our bag and are going to deliver it to us today. Awesome! Problem solved.

Well, not so much. See, once the suitcase arrived and the guy left, Scott was going through it unpacking, and everything seemed to be there. Clothes? check. Work laptop, check. My camcorder bag, check. Etc.. That's when he opened the camcorder bag only to find it was EMPTY! That's right, some fucking minimum wage asshole prick at the airport went though our suitcase, saw the camcorder bag, opened it up, became enamoured by the cool shiny HD logo on the side, and decided he deserved it more then we did.

I have never seen Scott so pissed off in the whole 10 years we've been together.

Yeah, I am too. After all, it was my birthday gift. And it wasn't a cheap one.

So now we get to fill out a form. Woo. I'm sure that'll get it back. The airline will of course apologize profusely, the guy will get caught and fired and justice will, as it always does, prevail.

I'll just go ahead and start holding my breath right now.
