UPS Lost my A clarinet! Help!!

Dear All,

I sent my R13 A clarinet off for repairs through UPS back in early February, serial number 160XXX which as best I can tell is from 1975-76. I insured it for $5000 on the way up, way more than it's likely value but I wanted to be safe.

Repairs were completed, and repair guy sent it back to me uninsured via UPS who have determined that it has been lost. Someone, not me, signed for it or at least that's what they are saying. I've checked at my apartment complex, neighbors, office, etc. but no one has seen it.

I'm somewhat at a loss as to how to proceed. On the one hand I don't want to burn my bridges with the repair guy but I do want to either get my clarinet back or find a suitable replacement. That being said I don't understand why someone would ship something like that uninsured. But what's done is done.

Any suggestions or ideas as to how to proceed would be most appreciated. Its my understanding that the claim has to be made by the repair person but that he could assign the claim to me. I really don't know. Grasping at straws but hoping to tap into some of the great wisdom of folks here on the BB.

Thanks in advance for any help.
