2009 Bowman Sterling Tommy Hanson Gold Auto #35/50 BGS 9.5 AUTO 10

This card was skillfully stolen out of my checked luggage. I didn’t want to lose it so I hid it in a closed envelope inside the pocket of one of my folded pair of jeans at the bottom of my suitcase. When I got home last night, it was no where to be found. My luggage was checked at the International Airport in Charlotte, NC yesterday morning (Fri 23JUL10). Anyone have a clue if American Airlines will do anything about it? If you happen to see this card anywhere let me know, its currently the only one that is graded BGS.
