Um, I hate to break it to you, but it's not 1962.  I think tax policy may have changed a bit in the last 50 years...

It seems like the airlines should be able to connect people who lose their luggage to the more unusual items, at least.  I would think that a lost $10,000 ring would have someone filing a claim for it.  Why can't they put 2 and 2 together and return it to the rightful owner?
