More details to this question:
They sent it to a third party and that third party went out of buisness. The cleaners say they are trying to get the coat back but no luck. This was 90 days ago. I bought coat for 299.00 6 years ago but have no receipt for proof. Can I get compensated or do they get to lose a coat with no repercussions?

Yes, you can be compensated, but only you can decide whether it is worth it to you. It is likely to be a hassle. Also, it is likely that the dry cleaning ticket has one or more disclaimers on it, such as a provision limiting liaiblity to $50, or something similar. Such disclaimers may not be enforceable, but it is not a sure thing. You may get more satisfaction by simply sending a complaint to your local better business bureau, chamber of commerce, etc.
