<DIV>If you check your luggage they will give you tickets with the tag numbers
on them. But they don’t keep track of your luggage at a station where you have
changed buses; you have to keep it with you. Except at the starting bus station,
Judy and I have had to be rather paranoid about where our luggage is and how it
gets on the right bus. Traveling by Greyhound has become more stressful each
time we have used it.</DIV>
<DIV>Fred, I hope you still get your luggage back. </DIV>

you have homeowner’s insurance (I’m not sure if you still own a house), you
should report it to your insurance company. My lost luggage got found
before I had to actually file a claim, so I can’t tell you more about the
experience than that. If you are suspicious, you should file a police
report. I have never had Greyhound load anything for me, so I don’t know
what their procedure is. Do they normally give you a receipt as the
airlines do? <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri",sans-serif; COLOR: #1f497d'>I
have had a very bitter experience with Greyhound Bus Company. I traveled
with two suitcases from Columbus Ohio to Pitsburg PA on the morning of Tuesday
January 1. I had the two suitcases with me when I got off the bus in
Pitsburg. About two hours later when I was about to board the bus that was
to take me from Pitsburg to Baltimore, the lady who was then in charge of the
bus station instructed another member of staff to help me. That person
took my ticket and left me for a few minutes. When she returned I asked
about my luggage and she told me that the two suitcases had been loaded into the
bus. Unfortunately, however, when we got to Baltimore where I was to board
the bus that should bring me to New Carrollton, my two suitcases were nowhere to
be found. They were not in the bus. Up to this moment they have not
been found. I have been calling Greyhound almost every other day. I
am now at the point of giving up any hope of them being
found.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri",sans-serif; COLOR: #1f497d'>I
wonder if any of you have had a similar experience; if so, how was it
resolved. I will greatly appreciate any advice or suggestion.
Thanks.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
