The Jury is Still out..... Shipping Art is Hard Enough Without Complications...A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all, We'll Talk Next in January
I apparently insured the trip to California but the return label didn't automatically include insurance. They gave me shipping costs plus the minimum $100 liability.....that came out to just under $500 which is more than their small print says they are liable for. I am going to go to the State Police and file a stolen report and ask them to then list it on the National Stolen Art File ...it's then up to the FBI if they will add it to the list.
One can only hope you will receive a fair monetary value through insurance. Nothing can replace the original, but you are still you, the art is still in you and you can live to draw another day. And I certainly don't mean to sound flippant. Someone might be getting one heck of a piece of art for Christmas. I am sorry for your aggravating loss.
