This is going to sound a bit ridiculous, but I promise it's true, unless I've lost my mind.
I went away for three weeks. During this time I asked my NDN to look after my cat - I left all the food, litter, poo bags etc.
I offered them £10 per day to do this, however, they refused and said I could repay the favour one day. We are quite friendly, she's a teacher and he works for a bank - both late thirties. Not that it matters, just so I'm not dripfeeding.
I take in a lot of Amazon deliveries for them and they would do the same for me.
I got home today and my laptop is gone - I always keep it in the same place on my desk. It was 100% there before I left. Thinking they might have moved it for whatever reason (fine) I text her to ask.
She told me I better not be accusing her of stealing it because she would never do that. I said I wasn't saying that at all, just a bit perplexed as I didn't take it with me.
Now she hasn't replied, but she's read my message.
