it all back together and redecorating in the past 3 months came to
the office this afternoon, asking me if I could check the CCTV as his
bike had gone missing from where he'd stored it. I asked him for the
time range he thought it'd been stolen in and when he gave me some
clues I watched the recording and, sure enough, there it was being
wheeled out.
I saw a girl almost tiptoeing down the stairs, looking around to make
sure the coast was clear, then going back up the steps. A few seconds
later another girl appeared, she also looked around to make sure
there was still nobody there, then made a "hurry up" gesture towards
the stairs, and her friend came down with the bike. They left via the
main door together.
I called the second girl (my client) on her mobile and told her I
would like to see her in the office tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock.
She asked what it was about but I just said I needed to speak to her
face to face. The guy had said he didn't want to involve the Police
unless I had to, so I called my manager for advice. After discussing
it with her, I rang the girl back telling her that when she comes to
see me tomorrow she should make sure to bring the bike back with her.
"Ooooooooh, that" she said. "I just want to explain that I spoke to
the guys asking if it belonged to anyone because it'd been there a
week, and they said I could take it". I couldn't be bothered to
mention that when you take something with permission you don't
usually sneak around to make sure nobody's seeing you, I guess I can
tell her tomorrow if she tries that line again. And I hope I rang her
soon enough for her not to have sold the bike so she can bring it
back, otherwise I will have to call the Police and I'm not looking
forward to that.
I've been seeing far too much of them in the past few days, since we
reported a missing person, and I have a feeling that the next time
we'll see them about that it will be bad news :(
