I've name changed because this is quite

On Monday Ds lost his prepaid kids debit card in Our local supermarket. I went to customer service to see if it had been handed in. It had so I showed Id, wrote down my name and address, signed for it and left.

What I didn't know was that I had been told to write it in the wrong place and had signed for some cash that had been found instead. So then the person who lost the cash comes to claim it and is told I've already claimed it and is shown my name and address and told to phone the police.

I found out today from a friend that I was being accused of stealing this money. So I go to the supermarket, they admit it what happened straight away and get the police to come so they can let the person who's money it was know I hadn't claimed it. The money was still in the safe.

I don't like people thinking I'm a thief. The person who's money it was could have come to my house and done anything.

Sorry for bringing another elderly lady-type person into the scenario by mistake Grin

"I've name changed because this is quite"

Identifying
Silly
Confusing

Take your pick!

Fuminglikeafumingthing · 21/10/2015 17:31

I'm not an established poster I'm not well known, I don't post much but I have been here for years.

The end of my sentence was going to say identifying.

Your sister has spotted you even with your namechange. Shock

I get the story but I don't get why Edna didn't tell Doris that she knew you, and stop Doris from going to the police Confused

It must be a lovely place to live. Everytime someone loses something of value, it gets handed in.

thunderbird69 · 21/10/2015 17:35

This really makes no sense.
Even if you had claimed the money, how would the supermarket know that it was Edna's money and not yours? Edna could be the one trying to falsely claim it.
Or what if you had both lost some money - how would they know whose was whose?!

GwynethPaltrowIamNot · 21/10/2015 17:36

You are NBU I would be fuming too

Sparklingbrook · 21/10/2015 17:37

Ultimately the blame lies with the DS losing his card in the supermarket and causing all this confusion and bother. Sad

Why would the sister have to spot the OP with a namechange?

Much more likely she texted her and said FFS those bitches on MN have got it in for me or maybe they are in the same house and, you know, talking to each other as they type

Fuminglikeafumingthing · 21/10/2015 17:38

My Sister knew it was me because I'd not long rang her to tell her what happened. She obviously knew it was me she saw it.
