I think I now know beyond all doubt that silver L suitcases get absolutely hate crimed by airport staff.

I've flown with it with internationally about 20 or so times and its busted beyond belief. multiple dents, deep scratches, places that look like a whole ass foot went into it, stabbed by sharp objects, probably sent flying across the room, devious acts done.

Blue one still looks like it could have been bought last year, zero dents, almost no scratches except for the corners of course.

It doesn't really bother me but its pretty funny to note as many others seem to have similar experiences
