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. (...) (27 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
