<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>

resolved. I will greatly appreciate any advice or suggestion.
