Lost Coat May Lead to Lawsuit

Bill Ogletree liked his black leather coat enough to pay $800 for it, but not enough to remember it when he finished eating pizza in the Houston airport and boarded a flight to Las Vegas. So he's threatening to sue the city, Continental Airlines, and the company that manages the food court. Or, he says in a letter obtained by the Smoking Gun, someone can just give him $800.

Ogletree says he has “diligently attempted” to figure out who was responsible for collecting the coat and contends that the responsible party should have kept it in a “secure place and held it for a reasonable period of time.” (More airport stories.)
