Went on our hols at the end of august and were having builders in whilst we were away - had some money out of the bank to pay them and had £2k left over which they were going to paid (+more) when we got back - DH left it on a dresser - out of view behind a box set of DVDs and we get back and it has gone - the builders must have pinched it - we have reported it to the police - who are actually taking it seriously now we live in the country - when it happened when we lived in London the police shrugged and smirked and said it was a silly thing to do (video camera went then along with tapes of DSs first few hours!) - they are at home at the moment fingerprinting the place as none of the workmen should have been in the lounge where it was taken from but don't hld out any hope of finding out who did it or getting it back really!
Am so cross with DH - he is angry with himself but keeps saying well it isn't going to brake us! Brake us - that is not the point the point is he is a stupid twat!! I just cannot believe it has happened again and we can't even claim on our insurance because the builders had a key - I keep thinking - wrongly I know - of the lovely handbag I could have bought with all that money!! Of course I wouldn't have had that much money to spend on a handbag but that is not the point and I am pretty angry with him being so dismissive - if it were me he would be mighty cross!!
