Please does anyone have contact details for LoNatalie?

DC is mary pritchard i think she took over from anne thornhill. you should be able to get contact details from pc website. you wouldnt mess with either of them so might be worth a phone call. and sadly learn from tis "never a borrower or a lender be"
 
thanks everyone, you're really kind, i hugely appreciate it.
i have her mobile number and have left a message and texted, and she's ignored both. i've rung a few times and it just goes to voicemail.
she told me on Wed 5 Jan, the first time i managed to speak to her (after my initial appeal on here, someone v kindly found her mobile number), that her mother had put them in the post that day. well, they haven't arrived yet. :( :( :(
i was going to try to get her home phone number and call and speak to her parents, in the hope that that might do it.
she has had them since Aldon last autumn so really no excuse for keeping them this long.
a couple of very very kind HHOers who live near her have offered to go around and ask for them but i think that is a huge thing to ask of anyone.
of course i might have to go to the Police but i really hope it won't come to that. i know she received them because she emailed me about it, plus she posted pictures and a report of her at Aldon, wearing them.
i'm hopeful about the PC DC angle, hadn't thought of that at all. i was awake for hours in the night worrying about this, they cost me £350 and would probably cost more to replace (they're Pikeur and still fit me beautifully, plus I've done all my big stuff in them so they're really special to me).
thanks so very much for the very kind words and help, everyone, i'm really grateful.
 
I do hope you get them back K. It just leaves a bad taste in your mouth and I've offered people off here to use my stuff and I'm afraid to say one person has spoilt it for all as I won't be leading any of my stuff out unless I know them in person and there's very few people on here that I do!
 
Hi - nothing to add to this other than to say I think it's awful that this person has kept them for this long and now not replying to your texts or phonecalls - down right rude if you ask me. Really hope you get them back!!
 
I doubt if the police would be helpful, you could do County Court claim for their return or value. Hope it doesnt come to that!
 
I would txt her informing her you will be contacting her pc DC and anyone else you can find in an attempt to retrieve your items if she does not return them soon, and if she claimes they've been sent, you want proof of postage!
 
I hope it turns out OK, the post isn't great at the moment - I've just received an Advent Calender that my husband's mother sent us that she intended to arrive before the 1st of December!

I am getting pangs of deja vu guilt too after the occasion when my dry cleaner tried to wreck your tails and the top hat fared badly in drying out after the Blair monsoon :(. However at least you got them back (and compensation!).
 
i know the post isn't great, but tbh the fact that she's ignored my messages and calls worries me more than the post - if she replied, gave a tracking number, etc, i wouldn't be so worried. the lining that flaked off when you had them dry cleaned was prob because they're so old, and doesn't show when you're on a horse anyway, and i really didn't mind about the hat! so, no hard feelings at all... i don't think i'll lend them again if i do manage to get them back though, they can just snooze in the back of my wardrobe. :( :( :(

i know... the thing is, they're really expensive to buy (i did my first CCI in normal cap and jacket, as i thought it could be a one-off) but it does feel really special to wear them, esp when it's the first time, so i thought it was nice to lend them. learnt my lesson i think... just really hope i see them again, they're rather special to me. :( :( :(
 
I can understand that, it was good of you to lend them out, as you say a lot to shell out if you only get the chance to wear them once. I really hope that you get them back, especially as they have sentimental value :(
 
Anybody surely would make it in their way to have returned them asap after the competition (i.e. the week/fortnight following) in the condition they arrived in .... well you would like to think so, I know I would but unfortunatley not everyone is the same. Such a shame that your generosity has been taken advantage off.
Hope they return to you safe and well.
 
I can't believe what I am reading. She should be throughly ashamed of herself, I mean seriously, how many people would lend something so valuable to a total stranger of an internet forum? Kerelli, I hope you get them back and that LoNatalie gets a serious dose of Karma.
 
lets hope they have been posted recorded or special delivery. at least you can track them. should have her land line number at some point today which i will pm you.

sent Special Deliv with insurance allegedly, i really really hope so!
i have already been sent a home phone number by a helpful HHOer but hope i won't have to try it. i'm not sure what worked but it sounds as if something has, i might have a little private party if they do come back tomorrow (how sad is that?!)
Thankyou.
 
Fingers crossed they turn up tomorrow. NOT nice kindly lending someone your kit that they don't have, and then have someone do this to you. I always think the horsey world is generally an honest place to be, but there are some that let you down....
 
I really hope you get them back in pristine condition. If someone lent me something so obviously valuable to them, I'd be falling over myself to return them at the first possible opportunity!

I have an image of you in your jeans and tails and top hat quaffing gin in your sitting room on the sofa at your own little 'reunion party' :) ;)

Hope they arrive safe and sound, but don't loose faith in peeps, you lent me your OT watch for MK3DE and I returned that pronto, and Jules89 very kindly posted me some bits to try out, and SpottedCat posted me her old black jacket and I ended up buying that off her - so you see it does work MOST of the time :)

Maybe we should start a sticky 'HHO Swap Shop' ;) Or alternatively why don't you go into top hat and tails hire?....there's a gap in the market......;)
