In unpacking most of my boxes from my last move yesterday, I discovered that several boxes were not here. One of them contained the ceramic Mardi Gras masks I've been collecting for the last ten years, one contained old bottles I've found/purchased for the last twenty years and one box contained, among other stuff, the ashes of my Mom cat and Bobo cat.
All gone and irreplaceable. I'm positive the movers dropped the boxes, heard glass break, and tossed them in the nearby dumpster ( a trail of other small personal belongings leading to the dumpster makes me believe this), thinking I'd never notice.
I called the moving company today, crying, and was told to write a letter detailing my losses. The man on the other end told me to stop crying or he would hang up on me.
These movers charged me $85 an hour, and I had to pay in full before they would unload the truck. A lot of my furniture is scratched, dented or broken. To top it off, I gave the 3 of them $100 for a tip.
I am devastated. Thank the Goddess I had Laurie smith make me a Bobo bead with some of his ashes because now I have nothing left og him. This has hurt my heart so bad. I can't believe people would just callously dump another person's belongings rather than apologize for breakage.
I'm seriously considering hiring a lawyer for pain and suffering caused by the loss of my kitties' ashes, never mind the collectibles which cannot be replaced.
