What would you do ??
 
Feel really annoyed about this ! My Dad sent us a christmas card from the Uk 2 weeks ago. He put in £30.00 for my daughters Christmas present. He phoned my sister in a real panic last night as he realised he sent it to our previous rental address by mistake. There is an office nearby which all mail addressed to previous tenants is meant to be dropped off, they then forward it to there new addresses. Stopped off there today & they said no mail has been dropped off there since we left the rental. Called at the old rental this evening little boy answers the door about 4 & said no one was home mmm :rolleyes: asked again & dad appears, he cant give me an answer ! looks a bit uncomfortable & says his wife is out shopping ! :confused:

Now we know we cant prove anything, but bloody hell were annoyed :( Told my dad we got the card as didnt have the heart to tell him otherwise

Anyway got really wicked thoughts of revenge running through my head :scared:

Rant over !

Nicky :o

Aaaahhh thats a shame Nicky.....it wouldn't even be about the money for me, i would be pissed off about the card :(

Why don't you give you Dad your account details and next time he could transfer money to you for the kids.

What goes around comes around......never a truer saying ;)

You can't prove anything. It could have been delivered to another address, stolen by the postie or some passerby.

Can only suggest you forward mail via australia post and NOT some real estate outfit! And let rellies know your new address asap.Could have been one of their employees for all you know.

Even better, give your dad and other rellies who send money your bank account and bsb numbers, name and branch of bank also. Then they can deposit via internet and let you know via email.

I'm afraid you will have to replace your daughter's money as it would be unfair to expect your dad to anyway and unfair for her to miss out.

Hope the rest of your xmas is better :)

We didnt feel the need to redirect our post as we were only there for a short time & notified everyone we needed too. My Dad is getting on a bit & just got the addresses muddled up ! :( As i said i told my Dad she got the money, she wont be without we will give it to her.

Nicky :)

And you are 100% certain they are the culprits? Where is your evidence? Could just as easily have been some bent asshole at the real estate agents!

Yeh you did the right thing. It would have broke his heart and made xmas unpleasant for him if he thought his grandaughter missed out on his gift.

Nope not 100% certain ...thats why i said "If they did have it they would will feel guilty" If they didnt ,then they wont!
So it could be the "Bent asshole at the real estate,s" feeling guilty instead ! ;) But we dont have any evidence for that either do we ?
