From your new postings it seems like it was found, but since you will do this again, only adding my $0.02USD What I would do if I was you (I don’t know your exact situation, so I can just imagine what you could do):
1) Back everything up onto the Portable Hard Drive (Don’t delete anything from your HDD)
2) Send it (insurance maybe?)
3) Once they receive it (if they receive it) delete your backup from your HDD
3.1) If it was not received…purchase another backup drive and repeat!

The only reason I am thinking theft is: 1) It hasn't been delivered in 10 days. 2) My credit card hasn't been charged. I'd think they would take my money even if there something wrong with the tracking system. 3) If there was an error with paperwork, then I figured they would contact me. I know there is customs to go through and other things, but the weight of the evidence points to a problem. I hope I’m wrong. The only reason I am thinking theft is:

Here in the US we expect a high level of customer service from a large company like FedEx and when abroad our eyes are opened as to how poor it can be sometimes. I sure hope they turn up for you!

There have been times when I received a package before it's actually posted on the website, albeit those packages were within the US. I hope they'll get back home!
