From a long ago military wife..and brothers and son, whatever you do, do NOT EVER pack up jewelry or anything extremely valuable to you. Carry it with you in inside pockets or a back pack.

One brother lost a lot of his wife's jewelry, a lot of it antique diamonds, my son lost a lot of his stuff including his water bed and his Boy Scout Eagle badges and other things in that trunk, but would up with an unexpected sofa bed that is real pretty.

Movers all over the country have had bad press, last one I heard bad things of was called something like hungry students?

It's just too bad, but nowadays you can't seem to trust anyone at all. One suggestion that I make for all my family and friends, is to stand outside the house and take very close videos of each of the movers and of all the furniture, especially expensive pieces as they are taken into the van or trucks. Then be there to take more pictures as they are being unloaded, since I've heard some of them are reloaded onto other trucks during their trip. Don't understand why but I'm told it happens.
