Theiving cleaner in east dulwich

[JohnL]

But a defamatory statement is assumed to be false unless proven otherwise

Which is why every board is so careful these days.

Very charming indeed. Lost all sympathy i may have had for you.

I'm having all our furniture and possessions removed from our house asap and put into secure storage.

After all, if we we robbed and any of these things get taken - we'll only have ourselves to blame.

Are you pissed now? Just because you were challenged, does that make me a troll? I've been on here for years.

Totally as a Judge!

Back to the accusation that i was trolling - i wasn't it is perfectly sound advice not to keep large amounts of cash in your house. This is because it cannot be traced if stolen and also insurance companies will only pay out a very samll amount to replace it (often around ?50 i think) so really all in all it is good advice genrally not to keep large amounts of cash about your person or in your property. However at no time did i say being foolish makes being stolen from ok.

Sound advice is frequently offered on here with somewhat insensitive timing.

Yes - because it's gone, there's almost nothing you can do about it and if

someone did take it they've got away with it.

been there, and it's annoying.

I've been robbed

- you're an idiot

Gee, thanks

[steveo]

Our cleaner nicked some pearls but I'm pretty sure the person who gave them to us had nicked them

[StraferJack]

"I've been robbed and without proof I'm going to name a company I think what dunnit"

Yeah I'm sticking with, if not idiot, then ill judged

It's with the "authorities" (not police, but authorities?) so if its as bang up as the OPsuggests, there will be proof and a conviction and then we can talk about the who

Until then I would leave out the company name and stick with general warnings

[Girl82]

Heehee! :)

Hardly the point. It valuables as apposed to "furniture and possessions" that are the issue. Thieves are likely to take items that are small and/or liquid (easily converted to cash). Having large amounts of cash at home is not smart - and from the recent responses by polla2256, we can see they arent the most intelligent of people.

[StraferJack]

lane lover - I wouldn't be so harsh on the OP as it can be quite upsetting to lose that much cash so I'm taking any belligerence from them with a pinch of salt

they have been posting intelligently enough on here for a while and deserve a bit more respect than that

I am also uncomfortable with people saying what you should and shouldn't keep in the house - it's not far removed from tellng women what they can't wear for fear of being attacked

Do you mean things like cash, laptops, AV gear, phones, tablets, jewellery.. These sorts of things?

I hope you don't keep any of these items at home. After all, you'd be a fool to do so.

[JohnL]

I keep all of those things in my flat

Doubt I'm fully insured for them either - but I choose to take that risk.

I carry my iPhone around with me too, and use it on public transport (horror :)) ).

Don't keep more than ?100 cash on me or in the house though anymore.

[gallagher]

Bob you never fail to make me smile! Sorry to hear about the theft.

[*Bob*]

That's CRAZY, John.

Should the worst happen and you do get robbed - please let me be the very first to rush in, state the bleeding obvious and tell you you're a fool.

This case was reported to the london met, I have met with 2 officers today who advised they intended to raise the charges of theft by staff. They would have arrested the cleaner this evening for questioning, however I gave the company the chance of resolve at dinner time (the offer was to meet with the supervisor tonight) and told the police of this meeting.

From then I was advised that if a resolve could not be found they would refer the case to the CID due to the nature of the charges. If a resolve was found they would not take further action.

I met with the company supervisor tonight and settled the matter. After doing so I provided the info to the police.

The case is now resolved.

To those who I was abrupt with I apologise, to those who cast insult, well whatever i'll probably join you with banter in another thread anyway.

It was the staff member who stole, but the company contracts the staff and hold some accountability for the checks the carry out and people they provide hence why I named them (no diffent to watchdog). Hopefull it's just 1 bad egg but I have no trust in them and am entitled to this.

Cheers for the update

[DJKillaQueen]

I'm glad you were able to get a resolution Polla. When you pay for a service you have every right to expect that the stranger coming into your home is not going to steal from you. The company did the right thing in the end.

[the-e-dealer]

So far from being a 'thieving company' they put things right. Seems like a good recommendation to me.
