Really nice bear man. Makes me wish I prepared my cinnamon bear's hide properly..

Anyways, If I were you, I'd go down and have a talk with him..question him untill he at least let's ya know if he still has the bear. If not, he owes you an apology (dunno what else he could do after all this time). If he does have it, perhaps he takes your business for granted (since it seems you all arent strangers) and thinks its ok to give you the runaround? Hopefully not, but your choices are limited.
