A word of warning. We have been contracting a bi monthly clean for our flat through www.cleanerdulwich.com . It has come to our attention tonight that we believe the cleaner has stolen a sizeable amount of money we set aside for our holiday. Nobody has accessed or has access to the property other than myself and wife (since the clean 2 days ago), the money was foolishly left in a basket type drawer that we believe she removes to clean. Do not use this service you cannot trust the staff they employ. We offered an amnesty but were met with denial as such I had to involve the authorities.
Mr/Mrs/Ms Administrator....I think you have to remove this thread. With all respect to the OP, there is no evidence here that the named cleaning company was involved. Circumstantial sure, but this forum can't be in the business of destroying businesses without undue care. I will be messaging you direct about this.

I agree with StraferJack and TonyQuinn. Its a bit harsh to come and judge at this early stage.


Like Cyclemonkey, I am surprised you would keep a large sum of money in the house. What would happen if there were a fire - or a burglar. You are taking a big risk by leaving such a large sum in your house.


Some commonsense is always useful.

Is it trolling though ?


A name is given and that business has rights also.


I lost 500 once - never ever found out if it was stolen or I dropped it and it is annoying.

Yes - I could never believe I could drop 25x?20 - but no proof of anything so I took the hit :(.


A friend used to mock me that he took it .. and I even began to wonder -

that's the annoying bit - you lose trust..

Ditto. Just noticed polla2256 that you have posted "Do not use cleaner dulwich. We have just been robbed by a member of their staff (see my thread)." in other Forum sections. Having been in a similar position as yourself, can certainly empathise with your anger, frustration etc but perhaps tread with a bit more caution and restraint.

Get lost troll - not helpful, given I have been on business in Europe and my wife has been working I'm pretty sure I wasn't pissed.

The web is actually http://www.cleanerdulwich.co.uk/ (not .com)

It was drawn for our holiday (aginast my will) as my wife is privvy to a direct no charge no commission exchange rate at work. I agree totally carrying cash these days is pointless - im generally a card all the way guy.

This allegation is only libellous if it's not true. And it's not in breach of sub judice rules either: no court case is imminent, no individual culprit is named (a company would not be charged with theft, only invidivuals), and the chance of any jurors in some future case having read this thread is nigh on zero.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises 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.
