thanks RB. The clerk dealing iwth my case has told me that they'd pay for my losses if they were presented with a claim number. She cannot generate a claim number for me and i cannot (according to her) have one generated now since 'the system' wont allow her to generate one. The only paper trail of the stroller is the baggage tag that proves that it never arrived at its intended destination.

the losses for the original stroller was about 1500 USD. Yes, you read that right. the 2nd stroller i bought as a replacement was worth around 600 USD. so theres a potential claim for 2100. Ive read a bit more of the Convention that states that court and lawyer fees would need to be paid by the airline if i wanted to take it legal and actually won.

I could use this information as a threat to the airline. A legal case that was clear cut could push them to settle the case, even if it did go against company protocols. i'm leaning with CJ and leaping a few levels. It's just difficult cutting through beurocracy and getting some names, numbers and email addressess.
