I sold an item online yesterday and the buyer came to collect it. I was on hold on the phone at the time (so possibly being a bit absentminded) so gave her the item, took the £5 note off her and put it on the sideboard in the hall.
For the next few hours I was downstairs, didn't go upstairs. A couple of hours later a tradesman arrives to quote for a job. I opened the door and showed him into the room, we were in there for a few mins and then I showed him out. In other words, I had eyes on him while he was in the hall.
Later last night - I realised - no fiver. Scoured the hall, and dowsntairs rooms and it's nowhere to be seen. It's only a small house so not many hiding places.
DH thinks the only logical explanation is that the tradesman took it. I can't believe someone would do that, although I accept the £5 has utterly disappeared and it's really frustrating me!
(Also, I'm disappointed if that's the case as he has excellent reviews and I wanted him to do the work 
)
AIBU?
