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.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
