Cleaning client

If a client text you out of the blue asking do you know where a certain item is in the house, saying they have gone missing since the last time you were there.

What would you think?

I would presume they think you may of put the item away somewhere different, or if its a pice of paper / bill / letter / card etc that you threw it away thinking it to be rubbish

I don't put things away in any house, and certainly not in this one. I don't tidy, just clean. This is something I don't clean, don't need to.

A lot would depend on how they asked. If they were polite I'd assume they just couldn't find it. If they were rude (and it was valuable) I'd wonder whether they thought I'd taken it.

Do you remember seeing that item?

I would think they are giving you a chance to be honest if you’ve taken it tbh (not in anyway suggesting you have) but that’s the sort of thing I would message my children if I’m not with them and an item of mine has gone (make up for instance) also they are teenagers. But I’m sure others will have different opinions.

They are asking if you know where it is, moved it when cleaning. I assume you think you have been accused of theft?

I really like our cleaner/housekeeper but she does tidy stuff away into random places and we have to hunt for things.
Sometimes I have almost texted her but I haven't yet.

They are only asking if you've seen it? I often text me cleaner this 🙈
