Luggage contents stolen

Unpacking my luggage from a recent vacation, I immediately noticed my suitcase had been rummaged through. Soon thereafter I unfortunately discovered souvenir caps, a mobile phone charger, and a recently purchased digital camera were all missing and safe to assume were stolen. The fact of losing a high priced electronic is indeed very upsetting, but not as much as losing week's of pictures/memories that remained with the camera and are now forever lost. Needless to say I was very angry and felt personally violated. I filed a police report with the LAPD at airport LAX but it only seems it will remain as paperwork. Inquired procedures informed me that a report will be submitted to the LAX. What legal options may I pursue against the airline company and/or the airport?
