history: I sent a parcel to my cousin recently and it never arrived. It cost me $50  I sent a parcel to my cousin recently and it never arrived. It cost me $50  Wow! Some delivery driver must be excited about their latest acquisition! 
current: I did think that it had probably been stolen but I try to see the best in people so I hoped it had just been delayed. That was 2 months ago and it still has not arrived. Maybe it is time to move on
next: I didn't mean to sound so flippant. That is a lot of money to lose. Was the item itself expensive also?
