  Prevention or counter measures you can take:  

Put your name on the outside and inside of your bags. Even better, put a copy of your itinerary in each checked bag so the airline can locate you.

The most common causes of lost and delayed bags are late check-ins and tight connections. Avoid both when you can.

Make sure the person who checks your baggage attaches the correct destination ticket to every bag, and get a claim ticket for each.

Pack a change of clothes in your carry-on bag so that you'll have something to wear if your checked bag is delayed or goes for walk about.

Pack all valuables in your carry-on bags. Cameras, computers, medication, wallets, heirlooms, jewelry, passports, as well as confirmation numbers, itineraries, contact information and other documents necessary to your travel should not be in your checked baggage.

Itemize. It sounds tedious, but when an airline asks what was in your bag, you don't want to forget anything of value.
