I hate thieves, and I'm certainly not condoning their actions, but some people need to get real.
What did they steal? If it was some small easily pocketable gizzit like an iPod, watch or mobile phone, and you left it lying around, frankly, you deserve to have it stolen.
As a general rule of thumb, people will steal things if they are presented with the opportunity and think they'll get away with it.Timing is everything. If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late. If you're late, you're fucked.

Actually, working FOR the customer would be more appropriate.
On a separate note, and apologies to the individual who has had his quarter plundered, I would be most grateful if you could explain:
1. Why you feel it necessary, in instances where a task has not been completed to the required standard by a contractor, to require the occupant to raise a separate incident, rather than re-opening the original task. Not only is this intensely annoying, it actually masks the incidence of failed jobs within your organisation. Perhaps this is deliberate in order to keep KPI at green - you may be able to enlighten me.
2. Why the Helpline available to reschedule gas/electrical safety appointments etc is never manned? Secondly, why messages are never returned? Thirdly, why you persist in tolerating this poor level of service from a contractor who, due to the lack of communication already alluded to, frequently turns up for safety inspections to find the occupant not there, a failed visit that has a cost attached to it, and a cost which falls to you, thereby preventing scarce resource being properly utilised on more important things. Incidentally, I do not wish to hear that the contractor does not bill for failed visits - there is no such thing as a free lunch and the costs of such failures will be indirectly passed to MHS.
Thanks in anticipation.'Sua Tela Tonanti' - now that's what I call a mission

I don't think any one deserves anything to be stolen from their own home, whether they leave it lying around or not.
The only ones at fault are the sticky fingered bastards and the company employing them for not giving them the heave ho straight away instead of sending shiny arse's to investigate.

You've gotta be sh1tting me. I agree that thieves need branding or stringing up, but why even take the chance. Leaving your valuables lying about when you've got workmen in your pad.....unaccompanied, is utterly stupid.

If its any consolation I recieved a harsh letter from a sales woman on a Countryside Properties site complaining that she caught one of our lads wanking in the show home bathroom, her phrase 'fiddling with himself' which was underlined and exclamation marked extracted just short of 9 pints of piss from my howling body.
