A: First you need to make a complaint with the airlines. Each airline has a process for this. Go to the EVA website and get information on terms of service and filing a claim. Then file your claim. The airlines probably has a limit for claims - they are not just going to fork over $2500. You may have to justify (provide receipts) or other documentation as to what was lost. You might also have a claim against the TSA - this theft could have been due to them. TSA employees have been in the news lately for stealing from people.
