OP hasn’t been back since posting on Saturday night, so maybe not all that important. Anyway, waiting for more information in anticipation for any response to our commentsHow “big” was the item that was allegedly stolen? It seems very random given it was concealed in your bag and that it was found. Not like it was sonething in a side pocket with easy access. Staff also get randomly checked on the way out of airside. Dumb question - but are you sure you packed it?
… and/or have left the building?Maybe they found the item .....

Maybe they found the item .....
i’ve addressed most of that when a lost item, suspected theft, reported to police ( not from an airline theft) was later found.And return the compo.....
Retract the police report....
Retract the stat dec...
Sorry couldn't help myself.
no bid deal at all, just being cheeky. Nice to hear your process & honesty in regards to your found item.i’ve addressed most of that when a lost item reported to police ( not from an airline theft) was later found.
I reported to the possible theft to my insurance, Only an initial report, not a claim by that stage so no later action required there except letting them know via email that I wouldn’t be proceeding. I contacted the police to cancel the job they had logged. Nothing had to be done regarding the stat dec as it was perfectly truthful in what the circumstances were, and didn’t need to change or be cancelled even when the item was later found.
So what’s the big deal in going through that process?
Firstly so sorry for your loss and experience.
Out of interest (and absolutely not victim blaming) did you have a lock on your luggage?
Has VA2 indicated what compensation they will be paying yet?
Tbh I don't see why a baggage handler would even be bothered to go through your specific bag and then knowing something valuable was in there and then taking it.
They would be dealing with thousands of bags a day, and just decided to open that bag? Seems unlikely.
Unless your bag wasn't actually closed and by the time the bag went through the sortation system the item has dropped off somewhere.
I’m sorry that this has happened to you.
Any hints on the nature of the item? Why would it have been a target?
