My daughter (19) forgot her jacket in the room, realized it when she brought her luggage out to the car, went back to the room for it, walked in and the maid was trying it on....Akward... Hope you get your replacement parts soon

I have two stories to share.. both are kinda related to yours

I got a killer good deal on a machine in the store because it didn't have the power cord/foot pedal. Obviously, I wasn't even able to test it! My husband inquired at the Sew and Vac store and they wanted to charge my husband $45 for the power cord (not the foot pedal, just the cord....) and I got them both off the internet for $50 total from sewingmachinesplus.com . The store also told him that the machine wasn't worth buying replacement parts for! Once I got my parts, it was fine!

Second story is from when I was staying in a hotel for at least a week (damage to my house, didn't know how long it would take to find temp. housing, etc, etc) so I actually unpacked and used the dresser! (I never do! I usually live out of suitcases) and I found someone else's jacket! It fit me perfectly! I asked them about it at the front desk and they said nobody had called about it and they told me to keep it, so I did! I sent it to the cleaners and now it's my favorite!

Keep calling them, it will probably show up, and since it's nothing nobody else is going to find and keep, it will probably be turned in.

Whether your cords are at the motel depends a lot on the honesty of the cleaners. They may be on ebay as we speak!

Two summers ago, we traveled north to see family, and I left my pillows at the motel and of course we didn't realize it until our next stop. I immediately called the motel and yes, they had the pillows but no pillowcases! I said they were certainly on the pillows when I left the room, and when I come back by in two weeks to pick them up, I darn sure wanted my pillowcases back! Went through it all again when we did stop to get them. I recognized the pillows, but the housekeeper swore up and down there were no cases on them when she found them. Funny thing is, we saw her as we left the first time, said hello... she & her hubby were the only cleaners. So, lesson learned: don't take the pillowcases that match your favorite set of sheets. I hope she's enjoying them. Next time I'll buy junk pillowcases.

But it's worth a try. Call again, maybe they'll have found your cords. I'm crossing my fingers for you!

I left something at a hotel once, and 6 months later it showed up in the mail! I have no idea what took so long, but I was happy that it was returned eventually.....

You might have to email the company with the info for the replacement!

I have done similar things......once in Europe with a hairdryer converter! Never had a dry head the rest of the trip!

When traveling or even retreats, classes EVERYTHING I bring has one of those mail return labels on it, with my phone # written on it too. So far I have not left anything behind, but there will come a day...hopefully whoever finds it will let me know.......unfortunately, your cord was probably tossed in trash.....sorry.......

When I was about 4-5 years old, I left my beloved teddy bear at a motel. When we discovered it, my folks called the motel. The vacation was a hard one for me without Brown Bear, but he was waiting for me when we got back home. I'm 55 now and I still have him, although I don't travel with him. At least not that I'll admit! lol
