(2) 727-904 Transmissions LOST at R&L Carriers

On 1-22-2013, I had R & L Carriers pick up a pallet with (2) 727-904 transmissions from Holt Race Cars in Columbus, Ohio to be delivered to Pro Trans in Lancaster, California. One had a CSR transmission shield with an adapter plate for a New Generation Pro Stock Hemi. A CSR billet catch can with misc. hoses and fittings were in a small box. Both had 2.19 gear sets, A-1 style locking dipsticks, 3" aluminum pans, and still had solid mounts on the tailshaft. One of the transmissions had a new case. The pallet had the transmissions secured with ratchet style straps and bungee cords and the transmissions were wrapped in plastic. According to R & L Carriers, the shipment was mistakenly tagged with a tracking number that belonged to another shipment that was similar in weight and consistent with number of pieces while at a terminal in LAX or Long Beach, California. From that point on the shipment has seemed to have disappeared. One obvious possibility is they were stolen from the terminal. Another thought I had was because my shipment had the same tracking number as another, perhaps the person who received his shipment with the same tracking number as mine also received my shipment. I was told the person receiving the shipment (at his house not business) said he did not. I don't know what has happened with my transmissions or if I am getting ALL of the true and correct facts from R & L Carriers. I did not exercise good judgement and insure my freight, therefore I am out the $8000 I paid for the transmissions. They are only willing to pay .10 cents per pound which comes to a settlement around $25. I have been in constant contact with people within R & L Carriers and still no progress on the whereabouts of my shipment. I am asking anyone reading this to keep an open eye and ear when visiting or talking with others on the chance we might be able to locate these transmissions. I will pay a $2000 cash reward for the information leading to the location and retrieval of my transmissions. I am not interested in prosecuting in the event of foul play. I only want my transmissions. Thank you in advance.

*** I do have a photo of the shipment BEFORE it was wrapped in plastic but can't seem to figure out how to upload it to this post.
