Viewer stole from my house?

[Calcaata]

I have a Diptique candle, 3 wick and cost £180. I’ve had two house viewings today, not done by myself but by the estate agent. I’ve come home and it’s missing.

Aibu to expect the estate agent to reimburse me?? I won’t be able to contact them now until Monday.

I’m near tw and def not well off 😂

@Calcaata did you speak to the estate agent

@Calcaatadid you speak to the agent ?
I know it’s not funny but some of the pearl clutching in here is hilarious.
I hope you only shop in charity shops in future 😂

It seems very petty not to update the posters who helped you out, solely in an attempt to spite your critics, @Calcaata. Especially on an AIBU thread.

Maybe this was a reverse and someone intent on stealing when viewing and asking how they could get away with it?

That's not the comparison we're making though, because they're not both donating £20. The wealthier person is donating more in real terms, but less as a percentage of their total income.

If a 'working class' person earns £100 a week and donates £20, that's 20% of their income.

If an 'upper class' person earns £10000 a week and donates £200, that's only 2% of their income.

You say that makes the working class person more generous, I think it's a matter of opinion. The wealthier person has already made a significantly larger net contribution to society through taxes. They could just donate £20, they chose not to. It's not a game of top trumps.

Less well off not "working class". Working class is not an income indicator. Poorer people end up paying a lot more for all sorts of things, so of course a higher proportion of their income going to charity is more generous. Though perhaps generous is the wrong word - kinder and more charitable.

It doesn't matter what the item was or the value. I'm pretty sure the majority of the posters are this thread would not brush off the violation of theft from their homes when someone they trusted the keys to was in the house.
