Not sure why you would consider it unbelievable. 100% true!

I'm surprised there wasn't more media or social media attention. If I lost almost £9000 I would have tried every single avenue even (as much as I hate pictures of people in papers etc with arms folded) as far as trying to get some public attention as once that ball is rolling it does become very hard for a company to turn round and say tough, especially with a withdrawal slip that was illegible.

I can't comment on that. I was merely relaying the experience of a friend of many years whom I have no cause to doubt. There is more to the story but not really relevant to the discussion. How people react to experiences is different. Had it have been me trust me I would still be shouting now some years later. However to call me a liar is both rude and not in the spirit of the MSE forum!

QUOTE. I withdraw £ 2500 regularly,

Why withdraw such large sums regularly in cash?, not only do you risk the cashier keeping some! but you risk loosing it yourself, or someone following you from the bank.

I am truly amazed by some of your replies. I was hoping for some advice not abuse.

You have had some advice. The money has gone missing from a sealed envelope. You watched the cashier count it out.

The money must have gone missing whilst the envelope was in your home. There is no other explanation, you should go to the Police.

Yes I will say she counted out £2500 but obviously £1000 didn't make it into the envelope. At home is just my husband and I and my two small children who can't even reach the mantelpiece and the envelope was sealed! I am as amazed by this as some of you are particularly as I have to withdraw sums of money regularly and have never felt the need to check the money before.

Well maybe its time you start.

Obviously I have learnt a very expensive lesson. But when you withdraw large amounts of cash you are told to put it straight in your bag so people don't see. Not get it out and count it all in full view of everyone.

The most annoying thing is that I have no come back on the bank. Even if I had noticed when I got home, the banks shut at lunchtime and do not open again till Monday I couldn't have done anything else.
