My experience:
I consigned two items at Judy's Tack Shop. I never heard anything for months. I assumed my items never sold and returned to pick them up. Surprise! Allegedly, my boots had been sold for an undetermined time, but no one knew where the sale records were. Worse, my saddle had been stripped of its fittings and no one knew where my stirrups and leathers were. It took three visits to wrestle a check for my boots and a promise to replace my fittings. I gave up after receiving only the stirrups. I was told they would have to order my leathers, but I never heard from the shop again.
Now I see this about her alleged involvement in stealing saddles:

I was new to the area at the time and thought my incident was an isolated one and attributed it to disorganized records and indifferent customer service. But if the indictment is true, SHAME ON YOU JUDY FOR BEING A DISHONEST THIEF!
