[QUOTE="hondo, post: 826093, member: 8661"] Hi Janet, yes 'overgoods' is the co's term for lost and found. I'm afraid at this point it's gone for good. I've personally found small packages and envelopes left behind in trailers, but I can't imagine anyone missing a parcel large enough to contain a quilt, for this long. About all I can suggest now is to monitor online auction sites like ebay, craigslist, etc. The overgoods process as I understand it: the item(s) are boxed with an inventory # created and a description entered into a database. When tracers/claims come in, someone goes through the database to see if it's in there. It can be kind of hit or miss, especially the way items are described in the dbase, but it sounds like they tried every permutation they could think of. After some period of time they put a bunch of stuff into a trailer and auction it off. I'm pretty sure Utah is 1 of the auction sites. Whomever buys the trailer then tries to recoup their money buy selling off the contents. I am a little curious about the way you refer to the 'shipper'. Was it something like a UPSstore, or a specialty quilt shop that had it on display? [/QUOTE]
