    Default Advice please SW'ers

    Last month I went and got airbrush tanned at a place to which I was referred by a fellow dancer. I took the last appointment, and left town to New Orleans early in the morning. I received an email the next morning from one of the owners saying that I left my sunglasses there and he put them safely behind the counter so I could come get them. Well, I didn't respond (I was super busy), but when I got back into town, about six weeks later I called to inquire about my sunglasses. The same guy who had put them up, Steven, answered and put me on hold while he looked in the back for them. A girl soon picked up the phone and said that he was in an appointment and he would call me back later. I asked her if she had seen them, and she said yes she had, but she wasn't sure where they were now. I said fine, and a day went by with no phone call. I called back and some other guy answered the phone and I gave him the same spiel and he said he didn't know what I was talking about. By this point I am getting really frustrated! These are 500$ Bvlgari sunglasses! I asked if Steven was there and he said yes he was standing right across from him. I said I had waited for his phone call, and the guy put down the receiver and yelled, "Hey Steven this girl is really freaking out come talk to her" in the most mocking douchebag voice. Steven then says, condescendingly, "Sorry sweetie I didn't see them. I've had people fired and hired since then and someone probably took them" WTF????? You said you put them up!!!????? Well, there's nothing I can do sorry I'll call you if I find them.

    What would you guys do at this point? Should I write it off, I mean I did wait a long time to respond to his email. Or should I go to the police? I really don't know what to do...

    Here's a snippet of the email I just sent him, along with a forwarded copy of the email he had sent me saying he put sunglasses up.


    Here is a forward of the message you sent me, I did actually get it when you sent it, but like I said I left town. I don't think it's right that you say you put them up and now all of the sudden they are missing, that just doesn't make sense. I know that I was out of contact for a while, but I feel I've been given the run around, and I'm upset because they were 500$. With that said, I feel like I am owed some sort of compensation. I don't want to make a big deal out of this, and I do know they are scratched and slightly worn. I hope we can come to an agreement about this without going through further legal trouble. Let me know what you think

    Do you think I handled this the right way???

    I feel like he thought since it was 6 weeks and you didn't reply that maybe you weren't coming back for them ( and gave them away or sold them?). I'm not sure what the police would do, but it doesn't look good that you waited so long. Try and see?

    You really don't want to know my opinion on the first part of this.

    Given the current situation though you should report them as stolen at the police office and get a copy of the report. You should be able to use it next year when you do taxes but it will only get you a credit of about $125.

    well, ya didn't get in touch with him for 6 weeks.... honestly, if i were in his shoes, and didn't hear from you.... i'd probably forget about them, and they probably disappeared. now you know for next time though...

    i know, it sucks having expensive stuff disappear. but ya live and learn.

    Did you check ebay?

    I know it sucks but they are prolly long gone. A dry cleaner would only keep left clothes for 30 days ( I don't think there's a huge difference) and since you didn't call the loser probably assumed you didn't care. Sorry this happened. Maybe you can come to some kind of agreement and possibly he can make it up to you with some free tans or something, although you're surely pissed and may not want to do business again

    No, oh well it really is my fault for not calling for six weeks. I guess it was how he kept brushing me off when I called, that irritated me. Im irresponsible......

    No response after six weeks? yeah, i'm sorry hon but they did the right thing by emailing you in the first place, after that long with zero contact whatsoever its really not their responsability any longer.

    He actually emailed me back and said he would give me a month of a free tanning. That was nice of him.

    If you want them back bad enough and if he sent you an email saying that he has your sunglasses then send him a copy of the receipt. If nothing then take it to the police.

    Without a receipt or a copy of the credit card statement there is not much that they can do.

    Since he's being nice about it : gently inquire if he has any suggestions on who might have them - and therefore what kind of reward would be best to offer for their return. (Maybe you have something else they'd fucking prefer!!)

    Also if he's being nice about it and you can be calm and nice about it he's more likely to be honest with you. Maybe there is a slight chance...? But maybe the circumstances for their disappearance were hostile.. and they are never coming back. It happens. You'll probably just have to let this one go.
