The name is a bit creepy methinks... you might buy something and find the owner would stalk you for years before trying to reclaim the item by amputating the relevant bodypart (so don't get a necklace!) and you'd have to shove them in a volcano to get away... Presumably shoplifters are pursued by orcses.... :eek: Now if there were a jewellers called "Celebrimbor of Hollin"......

Or you could address a speculative letter to S. Gollum, Esq. - I seem to remember after he got a letter from a Mr S. Gamgee, Tolkien wondered how he would deal with one from anyone of that name!

Any letter should properly refer to him as 'Sméagol (aka Gollum)'. It should also be polite, and not refer to him as a 'cousin-killer'.;)
