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.

    • Someone had a worse day than you. Be grateful not to be involved.
    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
