Subject: Re: UPS, Lost Shipment, Unknown Tracking Number
Robert, the problem is that with all the time the Cis Lunar's spend
traveling UPS back and forth, the UPS guys know a rebreather when they
see one. When they finally got their hands on one that worked, they kept
it.

Just see which UPS driver shows up at Scamahorn's for training, and get
it back.
