Collecting Goods from an Unresponsive Taxi

[luvmystang67]

So, after probably 10-12 attempts at communication over a 2 month period through facebook, PM, e-mail, text and phone calls and missed dates, I've decided it is time to recover my animals and move on.  Today I sent notice through all of the above means asking for a time to meet to recover my two hides and one skull.  (I actually made the phone call last night.) 

Given that I haven't heard anything back in the last 2 months, I'm not expecting to hear anything back on this request. 

Thanks to those of you who have helped get me to this point at least and here's to hoping I'm able to get ahold of the taxi and recover my things.

This thread will serve as my public complaint and peer counseling.  Any wager on estimated time this takes?

As long as you have the money with you for services already performed on your property is should be as easy as stopping by, and picking them up.  My wager is the minute you show up at the front door.

I am guessing this will end up in small claims if it is not over the money limit.

I wonder who in the world it could be?

I believe I have paid $850.  I'm not sure what I should have expected to have done for that.  I FEEL like I should have some money coming back, but I'm primarily concerned with getting my stuff back...  Its about a 3 hour drive for me and I'm really not excited about the idea of showing up unannounced.  I don't feel like I should have to do that.  Adults should be able to settle things more civilly than that.

I even proposed a date, next week Saturday.  We'll see.  I'll keep you posted.

How long has it been since you dropped of your stuff with the taxi?

LOL ... Softball question of the day

I would plan a camping trip to where he/she lives.
Small claims and a demand for your head/horns or hide.
3 hr drive is nothing, I'd quit being a nice guy by now if I were you.

Fixed it for ya.

Is it a reputable taxi?  Seems strange that there is such avoidance, are we getting the whole story here?

[h20hunter]

I believe we are getting all the story the OP wishes to air out at this time.

UPDATE:

So, after 2 months of trying to contact this person to talk about where things were and progress, with no returned calls and zero success...  I finally made all the calls saying I wanted my stuff back (previously mentioned).  I received return contact within 24 hours, which is GREAT! 

Now for the bad news...

The phone rang for 1.5 rings and stopped.  Apparently my voicemail doesn't work and hasn't for the last month (despite that I had voicemails that morning and afterward).  At that point I engaged in text conversation and explained very clearly that I would come down to retrieve my things and simply asked for a date and time.  I was told that a date and time could not be provided because the taxi did not know if they would be around next weekend and could not provide me a date until my bill was calculated for the work done on my form.  I responded that I was more than happy to pay for any work done as long as I could keep the form and asked when the bill could be calculated.  No time was provided for the bill completion, therefore no time was provided for me to come down (the window I asked for was any weekday after 7pm so I could come after work or anytime next weekend).  Text conversation stopped and I haven't had a response since despite many follow-on texts asking for a date and time.

Sidenote (and I'm not upset about this, but just an update): I can only pick up one of my items because the bear I brought in Nov 2013 isn't back from the tannery yet, which sounds somewhat reasonable given tannery lead times, however I would like to go and pick up the 2012 bear and 2013 skull if its available.

I wonder if I'll get my stuff back or have any communication again?  This all happened Thursday morning, which happened to be my birthday (yay... fun birthday times )
