    Hi just wanted to clarify that I didnt write my pin down it came in a letter that i opened left in my flat locked up then it was gone when I came back. My suspicions are that it is a resident in the flat as i got in a fight with the person who was living above me and ever since things have been going missing from my flat. Also my emails social media accounts have been hacked into etc. Basically my life has been ruined whilst living in there and I went back one last time to my flat today to find another item missing. I have reported the stolen cash to the police at the time it went missing but no evidence so nothing could be done as last resort just moved all my stuff out and moving on with my life as best I can



    How could this person gain access if you changed the locks?

    And accounts hacked into? Professional lock-picker and hacker? You were most unfortunate to live in the same block... :undecided

    Why do you have two accounts? Dont see the reason for that when they are clearly linked (one as a number 2 after the name lol)

    Liberty try and put this behind you and move on, I'm hoping you reported everything to your landlord and the police.


    It sounds awful what happened,Thankfully you are moving on and away from it all, I hope you seeked help for yourself.


    Look after yourself and see your doctor if things get you low again.

    And usually these days some additional security requirement to activate the card.


    Some do, some don't. Pretty common where I am for flats to be converted houses, with all post going through the original front door letterbox and divvied up by the residents.


    I don't know if they changed it but when I moved bank and got a new card, I got the PIN and card on different days but all I had to do was go to a cash machine to use it and change the PIN

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    I took steps to protect my property I changed the locks on my door after money was stolen and the same problems kept happening.


    As Comms69 has asked, what happened when the police were informed, which must have been many times.
    It's nothing , not nothink.

    Was this a flat share?


    If yes, did the police interview your flatmate?
    If no, how did anyone get in after the lockwas chamged?
