well you are being shafted and you are stupid......

But you will learn from this experience NEVER NEVER NEVER lose any
lease or rider, and keep all your reciepts....even if you have to rent a
safe deposit box.

How about both of you taking a couple of days off from work and REALLY look for the lease....
You just might find it!
