Carey's Fur Coat Lost in the Mail
A $7,500 fur coat Mariah Carey donated to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has been lost by the United Parcel Service.
The coat was en route to Mongolia, where it was to be given to refugees to help them keep warm this winter.
Animal-lover Carey sent two floor-length mink coats she received from a rich admirer to PETA bosses, asking them to donate the furs to the charity's annual winter drive to help clothe homeless and needy refugees around the world.
According to PETA sources, one coat was on its way to Switzerland, where it was to be packaged in a sealed container bound for Mongolia to be included in a Swiss Animal Protection Society drive -- but the coat never arrived.
UPS tells PETA the coat cannot be located and is lost. After filing a claim, the anti-fur charity will be reimbursed the full $7,500.

LOOKS TO ME ANYTHING OF SUCH VALUE (IF IT WAS EVER SHIPPED BY PETA) WOULD BE SENT REGISTERED LIKE THE USPS DOES THINGS OF HIGH VALUE, IF THE CUSTOMER WISHES TO PAY THE EXTRA COST SO THAT EVERYBODY THAT TOUCHES THE ITEM HAS TO SIGN FOR IT. SO IF IT WAS LOST IT MUST HAVE BEEN SENT AS A REGULAR SURFACE PACKAGE AND MIGHT HAVE REALLY NEVER BEEN SENT I AM HOWWLLMS A RETIRED US POSTAL CARRIER.[THUMBUP]

Yes, my thoughts exactly about the "might have really never been sent", as it crossed my mind the very first thing when I read the article. We used to call people who couldn't be trusted "low lifes" years ago, now we seem to call them "activists"? [HUH]
