Having been in the military and having to deal with movers whenever we've had to change duty station we were pretty lucky, very few things were broken and what was broken was easily and rather inexpensive to replace. One of my fellow NCO's were not quite as lucky. He was being packed up by some Greek movers that were hired by the military to pack and move his belongs to the port to shipped back to the states. Two days after this was done, he and his wife and family were visiting a local street market and lo and behold --- there was the same moving van, packers and --- you guessed it --- all of his household goods being sold to anyone that want to buy them. He reported it to the local Greek police and the military. He was pretty much told nothing could be done about it until he got to his new duty station. When he arrived at his new duty station, the majority of his things were gone. It was horrible!!!
