Hi people.


About a week ago I picked my car up from the garage following it's succesful MOT (phew) and descovered that ?2 was missing from the change I keep in the ashtray. I'm 99.9% sure the money was there and I know it's only ?2 but I hate the thought that some thieving little s*** has taken my hard earned cash. I bottled it at the time and drove away. I've been taking my car there for years and they've always been brilliant so I didn't want to rub them up the wrong way and potentially have to find a new garage!


Would you have said something at the time or was I right to let it go??

Might they have left it unattended and unlocked on the street? If so that's a bit careless of them. If that might have happened you could mention (next time you use them) that something was stolen from your car without making a big issue of it and without implying it was them.

If the garage gave good service, I wouldnt bother to change it.

I would put the two pound loss down to exsperiance,no shame in not challenging it, maybe it was a someone wanting a bag of chips and thought your two quid was a tip.,beacause not many people leave things in their cars when they go for service.

Forget it , a good lesson for only two quid.

    • Dishing the dirt is generally fine when it comes to politicians and in Farage's case he often deserves it but  nothing illegal  has been done. It is not illegal for him to give his partner a sizeable amount of money with which to buy a house and have it registered in her name. He is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger and so he most likely is making plans to minimise IHT. There is a sliding scale for IHT but basically a gift is free of IHT if the gift is made 7 years before the donor dies. Farage is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger. In 7 years time, if he lives that long, he will be 71 years old. Given that he smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish, his odds on getting beyond 71  years may be pretty slim.  A similar  process is followed by the "bank of mum and dad"  where parents  give money to their kids to fund purchase of a property. Many who are not cash rich will mortgage their home and so release equity to fund their kids property. We did it as have many of our friends.
