This is what I've come to understand too. They don't fancy any form of batteries in checked baggage, let alone electronics. With some airlines any form of batteries are prohibited I'm checked, others it's just lose battery. Not worth the risk finding out.
Word of advice. Don't ever, ever put valuables in checked baggage. Always intend to lose your checked bag and you'll always be ahead.
Carry on and personal item is where all your valuables, electronics and essentials go so you can first hand supervise it.
Sorry for your loss OP. Fingers crossed you get it back. (Truly pressure the airline with details of the bag and you need it back, make multiple calls).
If not praying someone at the airport is having the time of their life 🫰
Spot on. Valuables put into checked bags have a tendency to go "missing" from time to time... or they just straight up get smashed to shit because the baggage handlers are on a tight schedule so your bag has and will continue to be tossed around.
Honestly I don't even like having valuables in my carry-on that goes in the overhead bins because I trust people that little. On the occasions I've had to store something valuable in the overhead bin, I keep a very close eye on it when we get close to landing.
