As it was a gate check, there is no airline on which I would've had to pay.

Did you find your bag? I'm hoping it shows up on Christmas Morning or something so I can finish this script for Hallmark or Lifetime.
"The Bag that Almost Missed Christmas"
Staring...
Russel Crowe as "I Love Lamp".
and James Earl Jones as "The Pilot".
Rated R.

Funny thing is, my ZED cost just as much as some of their fares.

Holy necropost, Batman.
Well, Southwest refused to pay. I filed a small claims court case and they didn't settle. It went to court and I won.
However, because I didn't have receipts for all my clothes, the liability was limited to $500.
In other news, I got a call from the Phoenix PD on Monday and they found my bag in this woman's house:
Police: Woman stole 30 bags of luggage from Sky Harbor Airport
The bag was empty but I may get the bag itself back.
So if anyone ever tells you "Don't cause a scene, they'll cut our airlines pass agreement" don't listen to them.
Also, the judge said that an airline cannot waive liability for damage or lost goods, despite what their contract of carriage says. Southwest's contract of carriage didn't distinguish between nonrevs and regular pax anyway, but this is probably a useful FYI if your bag ever gets lost.
Back into my cave, just thought the followup would be of interest to you.

Wow - thanks for the update.
The picture of the lady that stole your bag looks like death warmed over!
Depending on which overnight bag you have, it might be worth as much as the clothes (I'm thinking one of the Purtyneat ones)

Good for you I Love Lamp!
Perhaps the airline executive may need to sacrifice some of their pay so baggage claim checkers can be rehired.
By the way... that gal is so scary she could scare the ghosts from a haunted house.
