General Chat

I have just been training (kickboxing) at my usual gym. I Took my handbag with me as i needed to do some banking (paying in through the hole in the wall) on my way home. I trained with my 'friends' for around two hours, then returned to my bag to leave. I popped to the shop on my way through Horsforth, and realised, as i went to pay..That some scummy, low life pice of crap had been in my bag and STOLEN just short of £400!!!!! I am now a single parent, desperatly trying to hold onto my house, worrying how the bills will be covered, praying i will be able to afford to keep the animals i rescue. Some low life cow has stolen all my bill money, and still had it in her to say a cheery 'Goodbye' as i left....
To say the word FURIOUS is a massive understatement! I have phoned my coach, who has admitted that she thinks she knows who it was.... i am waiting for her to return my call (she's calling the girl now) - if i don't get my money back i've asked for her name..i WILL have £400 out of her...one way or another!

Scumbag :((

aw lou
if you didnt have enough to deal with :(
hope you get your money back hun
xxxxx

she should phone the police not the girl herself

its awful isnt it when you think you trust um

dont trust anyone only yourself,

if you coach dont get the money for you threaten her with poolice or tell her you want the gym to claim it back off their insurance poeple and give it you that way

No. There are no lockers. i was foolish to think that the people i train with have respect - after all, thats what martial arts are all about.
My coach is trying to get in touch with her, and is going to try to 'bluff' saying she knows it was her..I just hope she's concience enough to own up and give it back..If she doesn't i can't pay the mortgage!!

it was in the girls changing rooms, the only place the CCTV doesn't cover....

I'm so upset, but can't cry, i'm too furious....

ask the mortgage company to give you few weeks,

i know its hard finding it, and you cant replace it

i also know from recent expereience mortgage compnays dont give much leeway cos it not happening to them

Silly question Lou..did you have the money with you? Could you have left it at home?

Oh Lou, I'm so sorry

It would be a good idea to phone the police, they may take finger prints of you bag, which could prove the thief.

As for your mortgage, ring your lender & explain your situation, they will be able to advise you.

Let's hope they get caught. Life is hard enough without people like that.

I hope you get your money back and they get what they deserve.

OMG!!!!!
My coach just rang - they DID get her on the CCTV!!!

She walked into the office and counted my money out in plain view of the camera...our conversation has just been cut short as she's on the phone to her now..
God get EVERYTHING crossed that she gives it back!!!!

thank god for cctv hun
"fingers crossed for you

Thank goodness for that.

Hi

Do you have contents insurance? If you do check yoru policy as some cover you for theft of money if your personal possessions are covered away from the home..............If you do have this cover then you need to ring the police to obtain a crime number and then you can claim it ( or some of it ) back on your insurance.

PM me if you need to know anymore

PS just seen the CCTV caught her - fingers crossed for you

sorry to hear this lou
i do hope you get it back xx

cheeky mare in she?
fancy stoppin to count it out,
mind you fancy taking it,

id waist no time on hte coach lou
phone police, have her charged they wana keep it quiet, id kick up such a fuss you know
your a victiom of crime here,
not her,

I would also involve the police

If i was your coach I would also ban her for life from the club.

i realy hope you get your money back you may well be covered by your house insurance also if the worse comes to the worse if you explain to your mortgage lender you should be able to get what they call a mortgage holiday they stick it on at the end good luck

The police are there now!!

She has denied taking it - and thinks the cctv is 'crap' and couldn't pick it up.She refused to speak to the coach and had her mother defend her on the phone. My coach has immediatly rung the police, who have just arrived and are going round there. I have offered them my bag, as it may have her finger prints on it...

I'm shaking like a leaf now, i can't believe that someone could look me in the eyes and still do that!!! - and then DENY it when the evidence is there for all to see!
My coach is furious - as she would be having a member of her gym stealing from peoples bags...She's going to ring me when they have more news..

You will need a crime number for the insurance anyway so may as well call the police. I wonder how many others she has done this to, her name won't be worth a light now. How could someone do that to a friend or even an acquaintance, does she know your circumstances and know how much that money means to you?
Good luck in getting the money back. Take care, don't take the law into your own hands or she could come off the winner in other ways, i.e you being done for assault or similar.

Oh my heavens, can you believe that she thinks she can bluff her way out of it?
So glad your coach is backing you and helping you sort this out, and not leaving you to sort it on your own.
