my umbrella......

ok, so i am most put out about the loss of my umbrella.....a vibrantly striped yet dimunutive affair that i purchased aftewr christmas and never used......and there is the definitive question.....is an umbrella that one bought but not used your umbrella.......or is it still under the ownership of the maker until opened......does possession begin at purchase or use?.........i am really bummed out about this loss......i can remember looking at it in the back seat of the honda when i arrived at lincoln county on thursday....but they disavowed any knowledge when i called today enquiring.......i really want this umbrella back......it went with my orange michael kors coat....the coat i dont' wear often because it is so very orange.......and without the umbrella how can i ever wear the coatr again?...................
