Another thought after reading Jean's post. It would be time consuming but what if you run a 'LOST quilt' ad in the lost and found section of Craigs list between where you are and the destination of your quilt? If someone ended up with your quilt by mistake they may have it or be able to help you get some answers. Again, time consuming but you never know.

I know this is a great loss and I would also be irate too, then try to look at the other side and that someone has one of your original quilts whom will cherish it forever. Guessing where ever you shipped it from may have it if you talked about it. Next time take out a hugh value on insurance.

I was told that if you use a UPS store, and buy extra insurance like they ask you, it really isn't insured for that amount. I didn't understand that, if you paid for extra insurance. I don't like how UPS just leaves the box on your porch. I sure hope you get your beautiful quilt back. BUG THEM REAL LOUD.

Janet did you file a report with your local police dept? If not go do it!! They will go to UPS to inform them of your action and that might light a fire under them to start looking for it harder!! I would also file a complaint with the better business bureau against UPS. Last but not least..write a letter to the editor of your local paper about it. UPS won't like the negative attention they are getting..when all else fails I would stand in front of their building with a sign with lemons on it that says "UPS service has left a sour taste in my mouth!!"
By any chance did you put the word 'quilt' anywhere on the outside of the box? My postmaster told me to never ever do that!! It is a red flag for theives. He said NOT all postal employees are honest. Especially at the holidays when they hire extra help. My son moved a few months ago and his wife was driving by their old house one day after work and noticed that there we 2 big boxes on the front porch of their old house. She stopped and they were my son's t-shirts he had ordered. He designs his own Christian shirts. They had the new street address...they had lived there for several years so the UPS driver was used to just delivering to that address. Guess he didn't bother to look at the new address and just left them sitting on the porch. Good thing my DIL saw them or they could have walked away.
Good luck and I do hope it is returned to you..Linda B.
