It's not surgery, it's going to be fiddled with and abused by some under trained grease monkeys. Would you trust said people with your lap top etc under any other circumstances?

sounds pretty sensible - more likely used to prevent customers trying to rip them off, by accusing them of taking stuff that wasnt there in the first place

Last time I took my car to be valeted someone removed every single coin from the console (about £1.50 I think) when I was stood a few feet away.
I was suprised they would take the risk of being caught for a few pennies.

Remember to remove the stereo facia and record the mileage as well.

A long time ago when I were t'schoolboy, I had to do work experience in a vehicle parts department which had a fledgling computer system.

Whilst there I loitered around with some of the younger mechanics in my lunch hour who informed me they regularly checked the cars for nickable items and always raided the coin trays etc., - apparently they made a small fortune from it.

Hand on heart, I never did anything like that, nor would I; but it's certainly not a new problem.

It's just the way it goes nowadays.

We had a guy whos brand new mobile phone went missing when he had it delivered to the office. It turned up but only because it was looked into in a BIG way - management have now said no personal deliveries to the office unless cleared by your line manager

Well figured it was time to get rid of the red cross.

We've had the customer claiming his video camera, wrapped in his suede full length, lined with rare tuhula bird feathers and sewn together with gold thread was stolen from his car wheile we recovered it, story.

We now fill in a form if the car is moved unaccompanied to say what was left in the car. I suppose its not a new thing, i suppose plague victims had their pockets checked for valuables before being planted by the hunchbacks back in plague times (not sure when that was) and relatives complained that said humptybacks had stolen a florin or two.

Its a wonderful world........................

She managed to run into the back of Banana Boy when he was sitting at a T-junction. And the evil woman tried to push him into the path of oncoming traffic!!!

I believe his bike's going in for repairs this weekend.

a mate of mine had £800's worth of stero equipment nicked from his golf whilst it was at a VW dealers for some bodywork.

even all the cables were taken which involved removing/refitting the interior trim, unfortunately for the garage he had photographs of the everything installed, he won in the small claims court!
