[QUOTE="Ada Lovelace, post: 74543511, member: 354769"] Nothing since an airline did not lose her luggage. Seema Verma, Trump's top Medicare official, left luggage containing what she claims amount to nearly $50,000 worth of her personal possessions in a rented SUV parked in a popular tourist area where car break-ins are ubiquitous while delivering a speech in which she pilloried "Medicare for All." Her luggage was reportedly stolen from the SUV. She was not traveling between her home and Washington, DC. She'd flown to San Francisco for a three day trip. She was staying in a hotel that has safety deposit boxes. This is where she could and should have left her luxury possessions. Or brought her luggage into the Commonwealth Club where she was delivering the speech since they are known for being accommodating to members and guests. I'm not sure precisely where she parked, but the club is located on the Embarcadero, and throughout that neighborhood there are reminders from the San Francisco Police to never leave valuables unattended in their vehicles. Parking garages also have notices to to limit their liability. It's unfortunately not uncommon for tourists to abdicate reason and leave luggage or other obviously expensive items visible in their cars, so car thieves view the area as a smorgasbord. I doubt many deliberately leave belongings amounting to that high of an expense in their cars, though. According to Verma’s lost property claim, the stolen items included 11 pairs of earrings, five necklaces and three pendants, and they were not insured. ETA: The HHS has a Travel Policy manual in which they specifically exclude coverage for jewelry that is lost or stolen during a work trip. [/QUOTE]
