Thank you to everyone for your kind messages.


The police are contacting all of the local pawn shops and I have contacted all of the local music shops that I know of. It didn't have a security marking but I have a serial number for the instrument (18394). The only other details I can think of which might be useful are that it is a gold brass colour and is in a black backpack style case which says Paxman on it. I don't have a picture but if you go on the Paxman horn makers website then you will be able to search for the model and see a photo on there - http://www.paxman.co.uk/pages/alexanderhorns.html


My husband is a composer and he has also had his Apple Mac book stolen which contains all of his scores, the first chapter of his phd on it which was not backed up anywhere else, and lots of music software on it. It is white and has a 13" screen, it was in a black crumpler case. If you see anything in a second hand store which matches the descriptions then please let me know!


Thanks

Too late for your husband to follow this advice - but if you have broadband access it's a really good idea to e-mail yourself such things as PhD chapters, dissertations, any key work documents which might take time to re-write (gmail and many others offer 2GB storage for free) - that way theft (or drive failure) are not a complete and unmitigated disaster. This also protects against such things as house fires, where locally stored back-ups may be just as vulnerable as the originals.


If you save materal as .pdf files and have a Kindle you can also 'send' these via Amazon to your Kindle - another back-up opportunity.

Yes this is a good idea. He actually has an external harddrive which he backs stuff up on - the irony is that it has some sort of error/problem and the only reason he went out of the flat was to borrow a friend's spare one to back up his computer. In the 45 minutes that he was out, his computer was stolen!

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
