I arrived back at Birmingham on Sat 24th 2009 to find that, somewhere between Friedrichshafen (where I checked in), Frankfurt (where I changed flights) and Birmingham, the lock of my checked-in Rimowa AirLight trolley case had been broken and the suticase contents sorted through - there were tell-tale signs. On arrival the case was insecure and there was no note inside to identify whether some Sicherheitsdienst incompetent had damaged it during a security check.
Fortunately nothing was stolen (or added). But it's buggered now - so I have demanded that Lufthansa replace it as the damage occurred whilst the case was in the care of Lufthansa and/or its appointed agents; whether this was due to attempted pilferage or lawful, but incompetent, examination is immaterial.
