"Hey buddy, hope you and the family are well? I'm a bit a grumpy at the moment I had my suit which was nearly half done all packed in the shed while we renovate the a garage. The kids put it out with some garden rubbish. Don't even want to think about it I'm so mad........etc"
and then this week over two months later I hear from him again:
"Hey dude you wont believe this but a guy at the rubbish tip called me to say they have a bag which had some plastic in it with other rubbish and bills which had my address and mobile. the guy at the station thought the stuff sticking out looked a bit weird and opened it up to find parts of my suit and then traced the number back to me! I still cant believe it dude I'm so buzzed! the force is with me LOL"
awesome!
