[Deleted User]

re toilet roll, does it still count as theft if you use it before taking it home

I want to know how you can tell the difference between Value eggs and posh ones. Are they bigger or what?

Organic and free range eggs have been stamped to say that they are organic or free range, I think this is what they mean.

That sort of thing goes on all the time.

I allegedly know someone that wanted a filofax from Smiths a few years ago, couldn't believe the price of all the add on pages, got a friend to go in an hour or so before, put loads of addons costing a fair few quid into one of the starter books, put it behind a few others, then later she went in, "innocently "picked it up and purchased it with zero problems.

Someone else had a faulty PS2 that Sony wanted something like £75 to send them a refurb out.

They allegedly used their printer to print out an Argos cat no, stick it to the box, went into Argos at lunch time, without a receipt, as it had their code in the box, and they were packed, they swapped it over for a new one, no questions asked.

What's more, they did this after one of their neighbours did exactly the same thing and advised them on how to do it.

Yet another neighbour saw where the council were preparing to move a lamp post too, neither him or his neighbour wanted it next to their wall, so they allegedly got a can of spray paint roughly the same colour, made identical markings a few inches away from the kerb, sprayed black paint over the existing marking and sure enough, the council put up the new post where they marked it, still there to this day.

As for some people who actually work in places like Dixons etc and allegedly sell their friends TV's etc put through as toothbrushes on the tills etc , again I have allegedly heard from trusted sources of this sort of thing going on all the time (according to one store manager, the bosses put so much trust in the modern computerised systems that they're easier than ever to fiddle).

your neighbours seem very dishonest :eek:

I work in a public library and we have had to permanently close our toilets because there was so much theft. Whole toilet rolls were being taken every day and even the lightbulbs! It's a real shame for those people who study in the library all day or are bringing small children to events. It was just costing us too much money though. The council has slashed our budget so much and we were being questioned over why we were getting through so many loo rolls each month. I think this is one of those situations where people don't see it as theft and don't see that all those individual thefts do cost someone money. I imagine most of the people who slipped that loo roll in their bag would never steal something from a shop.

My OH manages a few NHS dental surgeries and they have experienced occurances of :-

had the toilet rolls taken regularly,
the toilet roll holder taken,
a 20p plastic bowl with 25p worth of pot pourri,
the mirror,
the paper towels
an empty toilet roll cardboard tube
and even had the plug chain nicked.

No wonder the NHS is always over spending!

They had to resort to locking the toilets in the practices and customers now have to ask (the indignity of it all) for the key and then the staff do a quick check thereafter. Not ideal, but it was costing a fortune to maintain.

I used to ask people like you to leave when I ran a pub, same with those that came in a played on any of the machines without buying a drink.
