Nice thought, but yeah, I've already checked. Not fallen out anywhere.

Plus £200 has been withdrawn from my account (just checked online) - and the remaining figures don't add up so I think there's a transaction in the works somewhere. :roll:

So, looks like I'm in for another trip into the bank tomorrow. :roll: I don't suppose anyone knows what NatWest's procedures are do they. :wink:

Pah. I'm off for a long soak in a candlelit bath, then a cuppa with a bar of chocolate and a good movie to try to relax 8) ... watched in the soothing light of my new lamp. :wink:

:cry: :grouphug: really sorry to hear about this K

Ahh well that confirms it then. Sorry to hear about that. Im with Halifax not Natwest and I had £400 taken from my account and they refunded it within about 2 weeks. Youll need a crime number from the Plod though I suspect.

You'll get a refund, since you reported it so fast- they might make you jump through hoops to get it, but get it you will... Thieves tend not to be stupid, they've got to use the card quick-snap before it's cancelled. Usually lots of small value transactions. The bank are going to ask you about your PIN- no matter what, you don't write it down or disclose it to anyone else, OK? Even if you do. I used to deal with the theft and fraud claims in my branch, and unless it was obviously relevant we'd just lie on the forms, to stop people having legitimate claims rejected for being honest. If there's been a cash transaction then either your bank has screwed up, or the scumbag had your pin- could they have observed you using it?

Wee scumbag... I used to hate my old job, but we got a few people into prison that needed it, so I suppose that's something.

sorry to hear about this but there is a pretty good chance most of your stuff will be in a bush or a bin near where you had it lifted so you never know if you take a strole round there and have a peek in the shrubbery and bins you may find it

:( :( Really sad that.

I'm one of those that gets really out of sync(not that I'm ever in sync) if Iose stuff like that ie phone, wallet etc.

Hope doesn't take you too long to get everything back into line.

Cheers

Really sorry to hear this and understand the anger you feel... You just have to think the worst is now over which is the initial feeling and the anxiety before you got it reported... The hassle factor is a pain but not, in my experience, as bad as the initial feelings.

Hope it sorts without too many problems.

Evil scumbags :shock: :evil:

Hope you feel a bit better soon K, Im sending you a cyber ((((hug))))

Feck.. not a good thing to happen at this time of the year :(

Really sorry to hear about this K. I know how it feels - I had my purse stolen a few years ago when I accidentally left it on the counter in a coffee shop for a couple of minutes - it had all the cash for the Xmas shopping I was about to do in it. :(

Hope you get back what you can okay, without too much hassle.
