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


Which is why every board is so careful these days.

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

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
