It sucks, but it's not theft at all, you made a mistake, and they did their job properly. It would be nice if they'd store contraband for the owner for later retrieval, but the logistics and liability involved in such an undertaking would be very costly.
Are you having a hard time reading dude?????

I had 6 fucking OTHER lighters in my luggage that made it back just fine.. 2 Sex.com lighters 4 Cybererotica Lighters.. Why are you failing to realize this was THEFT.. Why would they leave the other lighters... Jesus..

Don't give me a hard time.. Your barking up the wrong fucking tree.. You got family who works as TSA or something give me a fucking break here..

DoctorT's luggage was unscaved, nothing taken and he had just as many lighters total... Not as many zippos, but just as many lighters total..
