Pamela,

Depending on the nature of your circumstances, the police might be interested. Although missing items is common in the moving industry and with moving in general, you can always file a claim.

Have you already filed an insurance claim with the mover's insurance company?

For problems or complaints with movers you can also contact the Dept. of Transportation:

or the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration:

and of course you can always contact the BBB:
