When I used to fly the only thing I’d carry was a carry on bag.
If this was in the US, it would be called “conversion”, which actually has greater civil penalties than theft.
NEVER check anything you don’t want to lose.
TrueDope’s fault...
FTA: After sitting in a storage facility in Montreal for four weeks, Rees said they finally watched their bag being shipped to a facility in Etobicoke in the GTA.

The question of why Mrs Rees would choose to sit in a storage facility for four weeks certainly adds to the mystery, in my opinion.
There was a time when writers of news items were expected to have basic composition skills.
“In an interview with Global News, Toronto criminal defence lawyer Marcus Bornfreund said that the “airline is not lawfully in possession of that bag. It was delayed, lost and then found.”
“It hasn’t been signed over to Air Canada at any point,” he added.”
If the airline “is not lawfully in possession of that bag” and it was never signed over to Air Canada, then where did they get the authority and right to donate the baggage to charity?
What if their passengers decided to donate their planes to charity all of the sudden?
We hate Air Canada.
We have relatives in Canada and the only plane from our local airport to Toronto (which is the connection hub we need) is an old prop plane.
The problem is that it cannot handle much luggage so usually the luggage is sent on another plane—and the luggage often misses the connecting flight.
Passengers have been complaining about this for a decade—they refuse to do anything about it.
The relatives recently moved to Vancouver Island (more than 3,000 miles plus a ferry ride away)—we are not visiting them anymore!
If I ever get out of here - thought of giving it all away - to a registered charity...
