Re: Coat

I have had Mrs. Rinaldi check to see if HK's coat was indeed switched with another coat and could she find it.

I was working from very little information as there is no ticket on it etc. I have checked with Bob, Don, and Reggie to see if they recently took a coat into be cleaned. They all replied no which leads me to believe that the coat was brought to the cleaners for a spring cleaning. If this is the case and most probably is, Mrs. Rinaldi (who was trying to be protective of her establishment) said that if it were a spring cleaning, the coat could be in the possession of someone else who has not yet discovered they have the wrong coat or else it has just been given away (the last is unlikely)

Mrs. Rinaldi is going to keep the office number and if a customer should bring back the other coat, she will notify me.

Update on Coat situation.

1. I called Bob to see if the guys had the name and address of the woman on file. No was the answer. I asked Bob if he recalled any of the events of the coat situation. The response was that "that was nearly eight months ago."

2. I called Howard who said that he does not have any recollection about any of the events. He thinks that the woman's name began with an A.

3. I have checked all my notes and NK files to see if I kept the name. I cannot find a thing.

4. I have American Airlines checking their complaint records for the months of March and April. So far they have not gotten back to me.

The last events leading up to the eventual dropping of the issue were this:

I gave Ron and Howard and Bob the address of the woman and told them to contact her about setting up an appointment about the coat. She called me back a day later to say that the guys had never called her to come out and get the coat. I then called the guys (I think I spoke to Howard) and told them to get on the stick about calling her.

They (the men) told me that they would call her and make an appointment to get the coat. About two days later, American airlines called to say that this woman had called them back demanding that they help her get her husband's coat back. I told them that we had searched and there was no coat to be found and that we couldn't help her in that way but that one of the SY men had made an appointment to get the coat which she said was HK's. I then heard nothing from the men so I assumed that this had been done.

Two days later, American Airlines called to say that this woman was still complaining and wanted them to help her in coercing us to give back her husband's coat. I explained to American Airlines that we had made an extensive search and that no coat could be found so our hands were tied. At this point the threads of this were dropped.
