    So, I hired a car for a week. I dropped it off and flew to Portland. On the plane I realised i left a cheap phone and a CD in the car. Went straight to Budget in Portnald and asked what to do. In the end I emailed them twice and called them twice, they wouldn't help me, they insisted I go to a recorded message service. A week later, no answer. Not one reply.

      Was the sim still in the phone? If so you could try calling that number - the Budget employee's girlfriend who's using it now might be willing to mail you the CD! :rolleyes:

            Why is it that I can get DSL service for 1/3 of the original price, and get my modem and shipping for free, all with one simple phone call, and Gruass gets screwed by his internet company and everyone else?

              I don't steal. Even if I bought it, I don't want mp3s, I want the CD.

                    I'm afraid you're wrong. No-one ever steps on me. I will start war at the Budget desk tomorrow. I'll get my stuff back, or some sort of reimbursement.

                        I doubt it will need to go that far. Make a lot of noise in the public area where people are thinking if they want to use Budget today, and that's all that will be needed.

                          I can understand you're upset at the lack of response and I would be too but you did leave the stuff there in the first place. The phone was out of credit and therefore worthless and the cd is probably $35 worth at most. Is it worth the heartache? If you're about to step onto a flight to Oz I would think a bit yelling match would be the last thing you want. 20+ hours in a long time to sit & steam

                            The CD is out of print. If they told me up front they can't do anything, that's one thing. But they have systems to deal with this, and they are all broken. They led me to believe they would help, that's the main reason I am mad.

                                        Why is it that I can get DSL service for 1/3 of the original price, and get my modem and shipping for free, all with one simple phone call, and Gruass gets screwed by his internet company and everyone else?

                                          Was the sim still in the phone? If so you could try calling that number - the Budget employee's girlfriend who's using it now might be willing to mail you the CD! :rolleyes:
