Was that an intentional mistake in your own use of apostrophe? :) I'm pretty sure you cannot use "nobody's" to mean nobody has.

Our local Dairy Queen had a sign in their freezer that read "Secretary's Love Our Cakes" for years. My mother sent them a letter, which we could see in the response letter had been forwarded to several others. What became of it? The sign remained, but they did send a bunch of non-expiring coupons for our trouble. They recently renovated, but the sign is (un)fortunately no longer with us.
