Taken for a big Ride/Theft
Taken for a big Ride/Theft
Hello ladies
This year I was approached by a theatre company called
Curious Beast Co who asked for three dolls to be used as props in the Hollywood fringe
I made a contract with them to supply and then for them return the dolls on a temporary export from the uk. Free of charge.
Since the end of the shows I have had no contact even though they have been on face book talking to friends ect. And no replys to emails.
When I leave comments on face book it gets removed.
I had to declare a value for the dolls for customs.
Jamie who runs Curious beast Co will not send back the dolls or reply to me so I have no choice but to report her to the LAPD and to USA customs for tax fraud ( she should have paid import/duty on the three dolls as now she has not returned them as the terms of the temp import.
You can find them on face book they are also in LA.
Never before have I been so ripped off.
Please feel free to vent your thoughts through there face book page just google them
Her full name is Jamie Boalbey.
Angry is not the word I can use the words I would like to use I can not print.
Thank you ladies please feel free.
Love wendyxxx

That is awful, I am so sorry this has happened to you, some people just have no scruples at all, I really hope this gets sorted for you very soon. x
Re: Taken for a big Ride/Theft
I'm so sorry that this happened to you. I just don't understand how people can be so dishonest and selfish, and callous of other people's feelings!v

Re: Taken for a big Ride/Theft
I am not sure a whole lot can be done when the 2 parties are in diff countries like this as far as the law and taking people to court overseas and whatnot. Not 100% sure on that and I hope I am wrong. I know this statement is painfully obvious but it is such a shame that people have to be this way. Hope you get them back or get paid for them somehow. I hope this chick does the right thing.

Re: Taken for a big Ride/Theft
OMG ! Not you!
Melinda is right. Do what she suggest as I don't need to repeat it.
There is a 'props' maker in Burbank that makes all the props for the Hollywood film Industry. I have even seen their babies for sale on Ebay. I am surprised you didn't run this by us first.....we would of given you some safety guards to put into place.
Good luck,
Nancy J.

Re: Taken for a big Ride/Theft
You can post to your timeline, paste the link to their page in the post. Then they will have a little more difficulty removing it.
Also, did you see there was an Encore performance last week? I'm guessing they still needed them and didn't want to return them.

Hi Wendy. I saw her post to you thanking you and praising your website. Would it help you if people shared that post of hers and asked something about the return of your babies?

Re: Taken for a big Ride/Theft
I mean on everyone else's site .... like could I post it on my own page? I think it shows when people share posts ... maybe she'd show some concern if we did this. Most reborn people are friends on FB, the word would get around quickly I think._Melinda wrote:I've posted there and on several other posts on their page, asking when they intend to return them....nicely. I personally, think it's a good idea. I hope Wendy didn't mind! Probably should have asked her first....LittlePrairieNuggetsNursery_lois wrote:Hi Wendy.

Edited to say, I just noticed in her original post she said feel free to do so!

Re: Taken for a big Ride/Theft
That's disgusting! They make it all feel legitimate with a contract, and then do this to you! I wrote on their FB page. I hope you get your dolls back very soon.
Hugs Annette

Re: Taken for a big Ride/Theft
How funny, I just read that play they did. It was called "reborning" and I had it on my amazon wishlist forever and finally ordered it(cause I thought it was a novel and not a play) but it was fairly entertaining. Definitely NOT broadway but still kind funny and weird. I posted on there too right under Melinda. I hope they send them back or pay for them right away cause it looks as if they don't need them anymore.(Unless they got attached!)

Re: Taken for a big Ride/Theft
Never heard of supplying, renting, or sending off three "babies" with no compensation up front! Sad this happened to you...and who knows what happened to your reborns...or what condition they will be in IF ever returned
I also posted! IN THE REVIEW SECTION!
Stating I thought they were "Curiously Beastly" for not paying for or returning the reborns! Gave them 1 star!

Sorry this happened to you ! I hope you will get them back.
I am sorry to say though people in the USA do not have to pay import or customs duty or any fees related to that when receiving packages in USA.
