The camera is just _stuff_...you can buy another one just like it (if not better) any time you feel the need, just by spending some money (of which you have plenty). Whereas the pictures, if stolen, would be gone forever. <br /> <br /> And yeah...it was probably the Mexicans who stole it. Not that I think Mexican airport workers are necessarily any more likely to steal than American ones (I've never been to Mexico, but have had plenty of things stolen out of checked baggage at airports), but for exactly the reason you state..._incoming_ baggage isn't routinely opened outside the presence of its owner, and so stealing from it would be harder to conceal.
