Someone Stole My Lamp!

The late, great Coco lamp!

MY LUCKY CHARM HAS BEEN STOLEN: Why do people do this? Is it just human nature to steal? Yesterday, while de-staging a home that sold very quickly, I walked into the living room only to notice that one of my lamps from my inventory was gone, vanished...no more! It was one of my favorite lamps and it held a special place in my heart (like most of my items do!). But this was special - this was the first accessory that I bought when I started my staging business. I bought it on EBay (a pair) and whenever I used it - the home sold quickly! True to form, it did just what it always did - performed beautifully...with a quick sale in the dead of winter!

If anyone knows where I could buy this lamp (I have not found it on Ebay and I've looked many times over the years to purchase another set), I would be ever so grateful. It is called "Coco," but when I search that name on the web, a whole host of things come up - and none of them look like this!

There's a number on the bottom - Cat# CL2148. Date May, 2008. It was made in China. There's also a bar code. Maybe I could find out where to get this if I could read the bar code! If anyone has advice - I'd appreciate it!

Hopefully - someone out there knows where I can buy another one! The investor, whose property it was, told me he would give me the money to buy another one. He was so great to work for - and I appreciate his offer so much.

Does this happen often? Would love to hear from realtors about this. How do you protect the contents of your clients' homes?
