Amazes me how stupid some people are. How did he think he was going to get away with it when you knew who he was?

It is a bit short-sighted isn’t it? I can only imagine he was facing some threat greater than arrest if he didn’t find some cash pronto e.g. Mr Big and the concrete wellies.

any update dave?

Well I thought I would ressurect this thread just to keep people informed into what has gone on since my first post back in Sept;

The driver stole the payment for the load of beds that he had delivered to a regular customer in London, £2300 in total, he had been employed by the company for 6 weeks and had been doing this one delivery all the time, it appears he had planned this theft as he didn’t bring his car to the factory that day and also took a passenger with him on the delivery.

It now seems that after the truck was found the driver wasn’t arrested, as I was initially told , he was on his way out of the country to Pakistan and as far as I know that is where he is now

To say this theft has had an effect on the company would be an understatement It’s very disheartning and demoralising to see a thriving little company go downhill so quickly and even though over the weeks since the theft I’ve done my best to cover all the extra work that’s been needed to keep production going it look’s like the end is nigh and I’m going to be out of a job

So fella’s if anyone can help me find a good 7.5 ton job prefarably around Yorkshire it would be really appreciated

PS prepared to travel and be away from home also have lots of experience in the transport game and have a OP CPC.

Now I feel sorry for your plite fella but are you telling us this guy collected the £2300 cash from a customer?(or have i miss read it) If so and you trusted a guy you knew just six weks to do that then oh dear

[davepenn54]

Yes Imp he was trusted by the people who employed him, possibly because he went to the same mosque as them

As I said previously I’m the only employee who speaks English as their fisrt language

…he was on his way out of the country to Pakistan and as far as I know that is where he is now

And no doubt making a contribution to the funds of the Taliban…where his true sympathies probably lie!!

[muckaway]

Perhaps he was raising funds for an arranged marriage…to his sister/cousin/mother/aunt/granny…no wonder all the women got sideburns,thighbrows and been left Freddie Mercurys teeth in his will…

I’m really sorry that it looks like your job is on the line Dave.

But it can’t be all down to the fact that the company lost £2300 due to theft by an employee.

Many of the smaller bed firms are in real trouble at the moment. The big boys; Silentnight Group (Silentnight, Sealy, Rest Asssured) and the others are having a hard time but can survive through discounting and sheer volume.

If the loss was £23,000 I could understand there being problems but £2,300 having a real negative effect points to a company having real cash flow difficulties.

The actual loss was, the production costs (£1500?) + fuel to London; less any money that was owed to him.

Not something I’d take lying down…

Hi Ian58, the companies you mention are in a completey different league to the one I work for In West Yorks; there are dozens of very small bed making cos; that are all Asian owned and who seem to work from week to week, and yes there is more to the story than just this one theft but this incident was the nail in the coffin for the company I work for
