Default I'm not sure what to do....

When I finished work I packed up my iPod and left, I had it on in the cab home and put it on the table in the kitchen, then 2 blokes came round to fix my cooker (which they didn't, said they'd be back saturday and never came back despite me calling SIX times and the guy promising they would be),

anyway I can't find it now anywhere, it's not here at work, I've checked everywhere at home so....


....do you think it's possible one of them has took it??!! Wold they be that stupid? Does this sort of thing happen out here??

I'll check again tonight but what can you do??

not much you can do as far as I can see...unless when they come back they are bobbing their head to your music...
I think once I had something similar when I thought I had more money in my purse then after when some delivery guys left...but I wasn't 100% sure and still what can you say, it will be their word against yours...
but it's a shitty situation...hope it turns up in the house...maybe Santiago had a little play with it and dragged it someplace...

Spugs, if your sure, call them back round, lock em in the house and ask them for their Labour cards (which they won't have....) Then you know they won't call the police. Then ask them for the Ipod or you'll call them!

I'm sure I did, took it off and put it in the front pocket of my bag, I had 2 leaflets in there that I later found in the drawer as I'd taken them out,

maybe I should call though - any idea of the phone number??
