    [quote=[Deleted User];68743755]Agree. But if she has taken them shes not going to admit to it I dont think.

    Thing is shes unlikely to have put them away. They've been in same spot - plugged into laptop on table for months.[/QUOTE]

    If you are absolutely sure and no-one else could of taken them I would get rid of her. The last thing that you want is someone that you can not trust in your home.


    You pay for a cleaner to make your life easier and that means having the trust to know that your belongings are safe.

    Well of course nothing is 100% is it.... But its looking a good possibility to be honest.

    You really should give up employing cleaners.

    You do nothing but come here and whinge about how lazy, unreliable, or potentially dishonest they are.

    I'm of the opinion that if someone persistently has a problem with one particular type of person they interact with it almost always the person who thinks they have the problem that is in the wrong.

    To be honest, there's something a little bit creepy and inadequate about someone whose son loses something and who then comes onto the internet to make thinly veiled accusations against their cleaner (making sure to let everyone know she's from Eastern Europe).

    To be fair, why not just man up and ask her, and stop airing your dirty laundry in public?

    Did she have good references when you hired her?
    Agency supplied cleaner?

    I'm not as convinced that she's guilty as you seem to be because it's not like she could sell them and live off the proceeds for several years.
    And surely she would be aware she's risking her reputation by stealing from a client.

    She may well have tidied them away.
    Or your son may have loaned them to a friend Monday morning and daren't say so.
    Or broken them and daren't say so.

    If she cleans on Mondays & doesn't turn up next Monday, I guess you have your answer.

    Paul, from memory you don't seem to have much luck with cleaners.

    If she doesn't turn up on Monday you might be right.

    However, if you pay her a decent wage why would she jeopardise a job for some fancy headphones?

    Speak to your son again.

    Wow! :eek:

    That's certainly not pulling any punches.

    But I can't argue with any of what Azari has posted. ;)

    Thanks for that little gem. :T

    Creepy and inadequate IMHO is feeling the need to abuse anonymous strangers on an internet forum but each to his own I guess.
