Antique silverware was stollen.
We hired this company to pack one day and move us the next. We notIced the day after moving that our expensive antique silverware was stollen. We complained to the company and nothing has been resolved. We were suspicious when the packer showed up with a backpack and advised the company about it, we are not satisfied with their response. Beware of this company. (We had used them for 6 years for at least 6 moves between our family).
Attached are photos of the boxes which each had 12 pieces of cutlery. The packer removed between 3-5 pieces from each box. My wife saw him put something in his backpack but she was not sure at that hectic moment of packing.
If anyone has advice on how to proceed with this case, please comment below. Police? Insurance? Small claims court?

Mr. Armin, we had the honor of being your family and friends' movers for years, it really saddens us to see this happen. Once we were notified, we spoke to the mover and the team multiple times. The mover insists he is innocent, but we also believe you won't falsely accuse someone. The mover is no longer working with us. We will continue being fully co-operative with you. In our 22 years of business, it's the first time this had happened. If we knew were handling the high valuable silverware in advance, we would definitely offer an appropriate level of insurance coverage, and inventory the silverware with you together to ensure everything arrives safely. We always try to make offers in goodwill, but in this unique case, even $500 won't cover the cost of 1 spoon. For ultra-luxury brands, we often have no idea of the value until we were told otherwise.
