Not the ending any of us was hoping for. I sure hope QNM has expressed their condolences to you appropriately seeing as they were the last ones to have possession. I hope also that they include a mention in the article that it was indeed lost on it's return to you after the photo shoot as well.
I love your attitude about it. I think I would still be bitter and mad about it. True you did get to see it in some shows and it did win some ribbons before it turned up missing, I'd still be angry and bitter. :evil:
