Student sues over missing Xbox

**Jason** · 03-13-2009, 03:23 PM

A Madeira man who is a student at Yale University claims in a lawsuit that US Airways stole a video game console from his luggage during a flight, and he wants $1 million in compensation.

Jesse Maiman, 21, filed the suit Monday in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court.

In it, he noted that he took a Dec. 17, 2008, flight from New Haven, Conn., to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Included in his luggage for that trip was his Xbox 360, which had a specialized hard drive and components he said cost more than $1,000.

When he picked up his luggage after landing, though, he noticed how light it was. He opened the bag, the suit noted, and he saw that everything was there except the video-game console and its accompanying components.

He immediately went to a US Airways representative at the airport to report what he called a theft.

Even if this is true, you can tell he is trying to milk it. I mean, 1 million for 1000 dollars of lost property? Come on... Maybe he could convince the court that he suffered psychologically because he couldn't play his xbox!
