The following is for your information. It is originally from Nick Gravagne regarding a Steinway "D" missing. >Hello all, > > > >A rebuilt Steinway D # 464062 left our shop here in Strawberry, AZ >Saturday night en route to an Oakland, CA piano storage facility prior to >its final journey. The piano mover, Drexel Cunningham (AKA as Drex s >Express), who we have used twice before for interstate moves with good >results, has been missing in action along with his assistant since his >departure. Along with obvious personal contact, he has been known to us >primarily through a cell phone number and an email, both of which >purportedly support a real office, whether in his LA-area home or elsewhere. > > > >Like most interstate movers Mr. Cunningham informed us that en route to >Oakland he may have occasion to work in another pickup or two, and that >the Oakland arrival date (Monday the 24th) was not set in stone. That >said, we have not heard from him since he left our shop. In the past he >has always returned cell phone calls. The Oakland storage facility called >us to inquire about Drexel s ETA, since they too had not heard from him, >and this after they had left a couple of cell phone messages. > > > >At this point something is fishy. We have called the California highway >patrol and they report no accidents or other untoward accounts of his >whereabouts. We are in the process of investigating likewise here in >Arizona. We do not have his vehicle license plate number. He has left us >with paperwork which shows a shipper s number and a carrier s number . > > > >Worst case I may need to report this instrument as stolen, but where to >begin? State DA s office? Etc.? > > > >So, to the List: anyone had a similar experience? Any thoughts, legal >advice or suggestions would be welcome. > > > >Wishing you all a pleasant Thanksgiving Day. > > > >Regards, > > > >Nick Gravagne, RPT > >Piano Technicians Guild > >Member Society Manufacturing Engineers > >Voice Mail 928-476-4143 > > > >
