-- With two mattresses strapped to the back and a couple of bicycles, a mini-trampoline, and other items hanging by a cord in front of them, the moving truck that transported Alexandra Deliopoulos and her husband's personal effects might evoke the opening credits from"The Beverly Hillbillies."It was actually all the work of an actual licensed moving company – but that's only part of the story.
With a baby on the way, Deliopoulos and her husband, Jesse Velez, decided to move from Nevada to Crown Point, Indiana to be closer to family. They hired Allstate Moving and Storage – who told them their"Total Guaranteed Price" was $5,112.75. The movers eventually did take the stuff. But nine days later, Deliopoulos and Velez learned the truck was in Mississippi – broken down.
A police report says an officer told one of the movers"to release the property... or he would be charged." The mover refused,"and was transported to the Lake County Jail." The movers further had no explanation for the items the couple got that belong to someone else – like the medication with the name Athena Gipson.
