I don't mind renting fins etc either, but it sucks when they are stolen. I hated my first set of fins, but I still paid a hundred bucks for them, so it's aggravating for someone to just rip them off. I actually can carry them on by using a snorkeling bag as my 'personal item' but it's not the most comfy bag to carry since the straps aren't padded at all. I figured someone had probably figured out a better solution by now, but it seems the choices are either take your chances with check in, or basically what I'm already doing.
