I'd talk to a lawyer about this one Steve. U.S. Mail is not considered proper service out here. It has to be certified and signed for.

You may well have a case that could make you enough for a new morph or two if you stick it out.

They didn't tell you. They took your rock. They messed up your yard. They stressed you out and they cost you money since you spent hours of time and gallons of gas looking for that rock.

Didn't you and your wife have your first kiss next to it? Isn't that why it was in your front yard? Didn't your kid take his first steps in front of it? Hasn't it been decorated with christmas lights in the winter and hidden eggs in the spring?

That was a pretty special rock if I recall what you've told of it correctly.

I gotta tell ya man, there were some days when you were just going on and on and on about your rock and how great it was and what you did with it to such an extent that I wanted to bop you on the nose just to get you to stop.

Well, your rock your call, but I'd at least look into it.
