Can't recall having ever lost any luggage on a plane, but an airline once lost my sister's dog. She put the dog in one of those pet containers, and it flew up in the luggage area (dog was too big to get carried on) Anyway the plane landed at the airport, and there was no dog. At first they claimed the dog/container was never loaded on the plane, but later it came out that the airport luggage people forgot where the dog was supposed to de-plane and the dog stayed on the plane to the next stop. Had to catch another later plane back. The dog was terrified by the time he got there.
