No offnse, but how was TRU supposed to know the item they were refunding was
stolen? I agree that it sucks you were robbed, and I hope you find the
culprit, but I don't understand why TRU should lose money in the deal. That
is what you wanted correct? For them to give you another set, or $15 credit.
BTW, have you guys heard a group has gotten together to make a class action
lawsuit vs. TRU for "ruining Christmas". They could be in store for some
rocky roads in the near future...

| (...) Are you serious? That's not as ridiculous as suing McDonald's for spilling coffee in your own lap but is still pretty out there, IMO. Yes, they screwed up. I thought their attempt at damage control ($100 gift certificates) was a fine gesture. (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
