[quote=Anonymous]OP, since you said that it was during the Palisades stuff and things were stored, my guess is that you had a partial truck and your things were mixed with those belonging to other houses. It’s possible the stuff will turn up when someone gets their delivery from storage many months from now and realizes it’s not theirs. But it would be surprising if they managed to get it back to you.

I’ve gone through a lot of moves and my rule is that I always pack and unpack my own stuff and movers only move boxes. I hand-move important stuff (as PP mentioned, a locked car and locked location at your destination are important) and have a friend or babysitter come so one of us can monitor inside and one of us can watch the truck. Finally, if the estimate suggests that it will be a partial truck and it isn’t a one-day point-to-point move, I do a container instead. Partial trucks and storage are how most stuff goes missing. It’s hard to keep stuff together in that scenario.

You were in an emergency so don’t beat yourself up. This is probably a form of mourning for everything that happened in the last month- your emotions have to go somewhere and this is where they’re focused.[/quote]
