I treat all items on an international trip as disposable. Been robbed by thieves, police (Mexico lol), and brutalized by US CBP enough to know it's not worth it to try and take anything across borders besides the shirt on your back. Anything carried is a liability for them to claim you filled some customs form wrong or to fake a drug dog hit on it.

They stole a pocket knife from my checked bag once. https://abc7ny.com/archive/9192371/ https://abc7ny.com/archive/9192371/ This one's my favorite: If you want the police to keep ignoring complaints then don't steal service revolvers! https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/3rd-sfo-baggage-handler-sentenced-in-thefts-3287302.php https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/3rd-sfo-baggage-handler...
