My zinc parts go missing

UPDATE 12/2/16
Received phone call from Gold CoastElectroplating. Someone has justcontacted them stating that they are missing a swing arm bolt for theirmotorcycle. I was told to stop buyinganymore parts as this could be the person with your missing parts. I was told that a panel beater is rebuildinga motorcycle for someone at the Gold Coast and has just discovered this missingpart. I am now waiting for my nextcall. A bit late as I have already spentall the compensation money on ordering new parts. Today 25/2/16 got a call again from GCElectroplating saying motorcycle parts have just arrived by courier from apanel beater. Quickly asked if 2 axlebolts were in there, but was told no. But when I described 7 foot pegs was told yes they are in there. Looks like some of my parts have finallyreturned. I was told to come downtomorrow and see if they are my parts. Will update with results. Wonderif I will get an apology after being told they did not make a mistake and mixedthe parts up. Coming up to 4 monthssince I saw my parts last. L
 
Man this was a real bummer thread.
I really hope this is your stuff and it is really coming home!
 
Maybe, hold onto the parts till the panel beater guy produces all your missing bits as hanging onto things like the axle bolts are still no good to him.
 


UDATE 26/2/16
Well a happy day reunited with mymissing parts. Collected a box of mostof my parts from Gold Coast Electroplating. They were good about it and when I offered to purchase the parts theydeclined and handed them over. They stillcouldn?t tell me how they got mixed up but you can read between the lines. VERYBUSY. Anyway the axle bolts were missingand after a call to the other guy he stated he has still got them. After all this time they were at a motorcycleshop a couple of suburbs away in a box whilst he is slowly rebuilding a YamahaXT500 for a customer and got up to the stage of putting the swingarm on. The stress of all the highs and lows over the4 months has been unbelievable. Anyway thanks for everyone who commented ormade suggestions, but hopefully a lesson to others about being careful with whoyou leave parts with and documenting and photographing as much aspossible.
 
still looks like u have a few XT 500 parts in there. the spring for the brake adjuster, and 2 chain adjusters at least
