Now I know I have only read 10 pages of the letters posted here so I may have overlooked something, but I am amazed that no one has mentioned that the silverware was "airline issued". Please tell us that you didn't steal the silverware!!! Considering the poor financial state of the airline industry perhaps this is something that should be looked into?
