Went to pick dd3 up from after school club today and her coat has gone. It's VERY distinctive and she loves it 
. She had it lunchtime, says she hung it up and by 5.30 it was gone. Checked the whole area, lost property and outside. I know what's happened - same thing that happend with a sunhat last year - some feckless idiot will have turned up at school pick up when it was raining without a coat, seen that hadn't been taken from the peg and has pinched it. Bet it will mysteriously reappear in a day or two. At least I hope so. I'd better not be there when they return it though - I had to take her home distraught, thankfully it had stopped raining by then. Of course worst case is they've just nicked it. Poor dd3 was so sad. She really loves that coat. Her name is in it btw.
