You can file a claim with your homeowners or renters insurance.
Oh man…that sucks!
Call the airline and your company.
Maybe they have GPS on the laptop or can track its IP address.
Good luck with that, man…
That is a bummer.
You know you should not have valuables in your checked baggage for that very reason. You would not put your Rolex in checked baggage (if you had one, of course). You would not put essential medicine in your checked baggage. The same goes for a laptop. You should have had it in your carry-on baggage.
I hope your boss is the understanding kind of person who will not make you pay for the laptop or even something worse - like a bad performance review for doing something not too smart. Hopefully, there is some sort of tracking device on the laptop.
I assume you have no proof it was in your suitcase. You have done all you can do. It is gone. That is bad. However, next time, you will not do that again and you can pass this experience on to other travellers.
Although you have lost your Laptop… I would like to congratulate you for gaining the knowledge of never doing that ever again. (”,)
All laptops have a serial number, maybe the TSA may track it down, since obvioulsy it may be only one of their employee or baggage handlers at the airport.
You may try to contact “lost and found” at the airports of your departure and arrival
fill out a police report and turn it in to your employer. They can file a claim with their business insurance. The chances of you getting it back are, unfortunately, very slim, but many employers use security software that can either be activated remotely by the IT team, or by the bad-guy using too many incorrect passwords; that will cause the laptop to erase itself. At least your data will be unusable.
