Thrift Store Find - held Captive

So I finally found the perfect coat! Beautiful color, perfect cut, vintage, not made anymore, however the lining was torn. My mom went to 3 different store, drove up to mpls to find lining, paid someone to reline it... then my dad shipped it back to me with lots of TJ's Christmas gifts and new clothes etc...

and it never came and it never came, and we chalked up the delay to it being busy Christmas season. When the brown truck guys finally tracked it down it had been delivered to the wrong address (more than a week prior!) But the people who got the box said nothing nor tried to return it.

What kind of people open a box that clearly has someone elses name and address on it... even especially when you see a child's new clothes and Christmas toys. When the brown truck guys went there to pick it up, they were belligerent, and wouldn't give my box of things (that my mom paid 20 bucks to ship) back to me, they in fact argued with the brown uniformed man and said "too bad it's your mistake" and slammed the door.

The hunt is on again for the perfect coat, it only took me 11 years to find this one!!!
