Reminds me of the time I withdrew £100 from the ATM at a supermarket and a friend shouted hi and I walked away leaving the cash hanging out the machine. It wasn't until I went to pay for my shopping I realised I had no cash. I immediately notified a member of staff who promptly informed the manager who went to check the CCTV from the ATM. I did assume the machine took the money back but no. A woman who was standing behind me took the cash and instead of shouting me, she put it in her pocket. Lucky for me she decided to do a shop and was stopped at the checkout by the manager who asked about the money and without even looking at him she just put her hand in her pocket and handed him the cash back. So CCTV can work for you as it did me. Looking forward to the out come.
A family member services ATM’s, he identified a skimmer on an ATM at a supermarket, company policy is that they walk away and contact police, which he did. He also spoke to store security who checked CCTV, the security guard also checked throughout the store on the cameras and found the person who installed it, when the police arrived they were directed straight to the culprit.
My credit card was also stolen But I didn't bother reporting it to the bank Because ............. Whoever was using it was spending less on it than my wife !
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! KJV Isaiah 5:20-21
The shops will not share the CCTV footage with you because they will claim that they are prevented from doing so by the UK GDPR Regulations, i.e. they cannot share personal information about a data subject (the criminal) with anyone else, i.e. you (the crime victim) or the police (the prosecuting authority). The police will not get involved because £5 is too little to be considered harmful - so the police expect you to either be insured against the loss or to 'suck it up' - the police are not there to protect us for anything other than risk to life these days. My 82 year old mum got her purse pick-pocketed in Sainsburys last year. CCTV cameras were everywhere. Sainsburys would not share the CCTV footage, claiming that they were prevented by UK GDPR Regs, despite our barrister requesting a copy of the footage to be captured from the CCTV system. I think the Sainsburys store manager gave my mum shopping vouchers to partly cover to £100+ cash that stolen from her. The police would not get involved and dragged their feet until the CCTV footage was overwritten, instead of getting a copy straight away and commencing an investigation themselves. Sainsburys store manager did retain a copy of the incident but would not share it. If the shop and the police decline to cooperate with you in attempting to identify and apprehend the criminal, then the steps you can follow are: 1. Make a formal Subject Access Request under UK GDPR Regs to the shop for the CCTV footage that shows you using your card in their shop and of your bank card being stolen. 2. Report the theft of your bank card to the police. If neither the shop nor the police want to get involved then: 3. Raise a complaint to the shop, following their Complaints Handling Process. 4. Raise a complaint to the police, following their Complaints Handling Process. 5. Get legal advice as to what you can do to track down the criminal, e.g. from Citizens Advice Bureau using their online form, as trying to get through to the CAB by phone is nearly impossible. In the most part you should be 'insured' against the unauthorised use of your bank card and your subsequent financial loss by the bank as the bank is responsible for ensuring that their processes and systems are secure. Hence, this is why the police may not want to get involved, as ultimately there should be no loss to you. However, there will be a loss to the wider financial system and we the public in general through higher banking costs. Also, not trying to apprehend the criminals just emboldens them to continue committing crimes. If the criminals are going to cause friction in our lives, and the authorities are not going to protect us from them, then we need to cause friction in the authorities' lives until they jump to action.
That is true. The GDPR would block them sharing information with the victim or any other private requester unless it is like Police or a Judge order (not even to barrister unless they had a court order). And only when to be used in a crime investigation. And honestly, due to the low amount of damages (around £100) and considering how much work the police have to do compared to their number, this would not be worth investigating in-depth or taken any harsh action unless the person has a list of previous offences.

Petty crime helps with government policy of increasing the misery of living crisis. It's why we have so many pot holes in the roads, it's not because they're saving money on road repairs but cause motorists some angst as things break on their cars like putting up with a slow leak from a damaged rim. It's a war of attrition, every little helps.

You can either place a freeze (if you want to look for it in case you misplaced it which i have in the past) or totally cancel it if you know for certain it’s gone. But do it now.

When I left the UK 8 years ago, someone took my old home address and my name and went to 6 UK phone shops and get themselves 6 New iPhones in my name. The first thing I knew about it was when a debt collector company turned up to my fathers House and demanded to take my dads furniture to pay my outstanding contract bills. It turned out you don’t need any ID to take out a phone contract. Only a name and address. 🤷🏻♂️
If you find a card call the number on the back or call 159 to connect safely to most banks. The bank will cancel the card and contact the customer. Never hand it in anywhere. Please promote 159
Had my card cloned at a petrol station quite a few years ago. Went to the pub oblivious to the fact. Got up the next morning and checked my bank balance which was about £800 the wrong way … a night out I might not have remembered having spent that much, however I did remember it and therefore the alarm bells rang. So, cancelled the card. Had to go into the bank every day to confirm it was a payment I’d made or not. The owner of the cloned card was buying lots of fuel on the Western side of the North Circular in London (quite a distance from where I live), more petrol near Victoria Station, then Tesco on Tottenham Court Road and the cherry on the cake … a debt collection agency multiple times!!!! It turns out the petrol station was skimming everyone’s cards, not a clever move as the banks of course all had card payments from that particular hub of scum and villainy. Quite a chunk of money went, got repaid eventually and a new card. But, it was a pain in the backside and I didn’t get asked to go to court so I could eyeball the scumbags, disappointing.
They may have been diverse people. There was a petrol station near me where the diverse staff were billing the cards for their own purposes as well as for your petrol. Unless you're The Post Office you can prosecute diverse staff for fraud.
As Geoff says, using a stolen card to buy good and useful things is almost forgivable. Guess what will happen to the thief if and when they are found ? Nothing !
The other side of the coin. One evening I went to cashpoint to withdraw £100. Immediately three youths stood behind me. Fearing I was going to be mugged, I fumbled in the end cancelled the transaction and walked away, One of the guys called me, and said hay mate you’ve left your money behind and walked over and handed me the hundred pounds. Relieved., I said thank you very much, that’s really nice, I was a bit afraid that something bad was going to happen. He said we would never do that. have a nice evening.. The point being that we shouldn’t prejudge.
The very same Reform who are sponsored by Moderna and Pfizer, BlackRock and Vanguard. Yeah, they really are going to be on YOUR side, not. Go look for yourself.
Chip & Pin flawed as it is nobody is going too hold your down and cut off your fingers until your reveal your pin. Quickest way too get any money is find the mad eccentric and lift their mattres because Banks are for idiots Doesn't have CCTV as the Chinese might be watching them listening to Radio 4 Play Of The Day Don't want a Smart Meter as its all about forced control .So uses Physical Cash to pay their Bill on dark December Night at the local Corner Shop. Tiptoeing through and over the local Crack Heads
Geoff's issue was he didn't notice it missing like the other poster said if you have Online Banking you can disable it straight away Transactions don't instantly leave your Bank/Building Society Account you report it or block it quick enough they'll just be rejected at the second hurdle. The biggest hidden fraud with all Contactless Cards is Family Members and Employees with company cards. Retail stores will forward all Fraudulent Transactions (Images) to the In-House Head Office Security who'll lasion with the local Police.and Card Companies The local Police nine times out of ten will know them. As in the case with the donuts who won 4m on that stolen Debit Card/Scratchcard in Manchester. Was the £10 the actually collected they were charged with😂
Top advice I was given. Scratch off the 3 digit Security number in the back. .. A mate rented a property for about 10years. Moved out. To another place. .. The new arrival into my mates old place decided to set up a load of accounts in his name. (Post kept going to the old adress). Went on a spending spree with online catalogues, etc built up quite a bit of debt. .. Which then prevented my mate from obtaining a mortgage.. ... Took a long time to counteract the bad credit...
@@angleseyandy9110 I only enable online two-factor authentication on any card, use G-Pay only. And they still cloned my card...and they're still trying to used the old card six months later.
Two words. Data protection. In a just world they'd let you see the footage in all those places. Public areas of course but no! It's built for them not us.
Society has been what I call the "MeMeMe" society for a long while. And COVID proved that. While there were a few helping others the majority were only worrying about themselves. I think a good barometer of society is the UK road system. How a majority people use the roads and drive is a reflection of how they treat others. Not waiting at giveway lines, forcing their way into queueing traffic. Parking on pavements. Driving without insurance or a license and road rage.
@@loonaticsrunningtheassylum Remember some years ago (Maybe 10yrs ago) it was in the papers that Police won't come out to someone shoplifting less than £1. And do remember Police wants to ban motorists because learners are on the road incl those who passed....to balance the vehicles on the road!
This is why i refuse to have a bank card that can be found and used without a pin. Even then they can be cloned if you use a cash machine. Cash is my first choice, but i only carry enough to pay for items that i will purchase that day. I keep my bank card in a seperate wallet to my cash, and an emergency credit card at home This ensures that i can still live if one is lost or stolen.
🇬🇧Used a card once at a hotel in Leeds, the card was cloned and used in several shops in Leeds. The hotel manager said it was impossible. A hotel chain that we all know 😮🇬🇧
I deactivated the contactless facility on my card and blocked out the three numbers on the back committing it to memory. I'm quite happy putting in my pin for transactions.
nice video Jeff , had my card cloned at Beaconfields services on the M40 , they brought meals at weatherspoons on the first day and when they did it again the next day . at that point my bank texted me in holland as we were driving there and stopped on the way down to ask if I had used it. The fraud dept phoned me and blocked the card and gave me the money back. good luck in getting yours back
Your comment about "could have been a little old lady" struck home with me. My mother, 95, shopping in Morrisons Hereford couldn't reach a product from a high shelf, she was offered help and the helpers colleague stole her purse whilst she was distracted. So, it does happen! Security helpful but said nothing could be done; police aren't interested if they are called, etc etc. I remember when people would look out for our elderly...
Back in 1969 when I was 11 years old, I found a five pound note in the street. I took it to the police station and filled out a form. A month (I think) later, I went back to the police and found no-one had claimed it, so it was mine. This was not a trivial sum to me as my pocket money was two shillings a week - so this was nearly a *year's* pocket money. Sometimes honesty pays. 😀
Friend found a boxed up ghetto blaster (this was sometime ago) hidden in his front garden one morning. Handed it into the police. A couple of months later they asked if he wanted it as there was no claim for it. Apparently the police tried to track the importer down but it was only available abroad so was never sure where it came from.
Geoff all you have to do is report to the police, provide them with details of the transactions, exact times and locations, they will do the CCTV requests to the stores.
Two transactions at Tesco? I'll bet the £36 was for 2 x 30g packs of rolling tobacco and the £42 was for groceries. You can't buy cigs and a trolley full of groceries at the same time in large Tesco's hence the two transactions. So tell the cops they're looking for a smoker.
I learned relatively quick just to cancel the card that way chancers who might find it will not be able to use any further! Plus if you phone your bank and dispute those transactions under Fraud you'll get all that money back...Yeh you will get the money back. I've had this happen before. Much respect Geoff! '
One of my members of staff found a £20 note in my shop, we checked our cctv and recognised the customer, I put the money aside in our til until she came in next and when she did I gave her back her money, yes it was only £20 but it may have been her last £20 & yes being a small independent shop we could do that and know our customers. If it had been an unknown customer we would've held it for a month before putting it into the air ambulance charity box we have here. Morals cost nothing!
This is why I disable contactless on all my cards. You can do that yourself in some of the mobile banking apps. Plus, by doing this, you remember it more easily when you are prompted to use it, which happens from time to time.
A little tip that might help, depending on your banking app, is to enable or turn on notifications. It can be a little annoying because you'll get a pop up on you phone every time there is a transaction (money in or money out). But if some tow rag does what just happened to you, you'll get an almost instant notification of the transaction, so you'll be able to stop the card there and then.
Geoff I really feel for you & I am so very Sorry that you have been a victim of crime. I have experienced this on more than one occasion, unfortunately. I was recently robbed by a "friend" & her cronies for my phone, if she had asked I would have gladly bought her a new phone alas I was robbed & seriously assaulted & apparently I was found on the street by a stranger unconscious & rushed to hospital with a suspected brain bleed. When I came round I was concussed & confused surrounded by the South Yorkshire CID. Fast forward are this will be a book, I was absolutely shocked & heart broke 💔 to realise that someone who I have known all my life could have done this to me for a mobile. I still find it extremely hard to come to terms with 😢 Yes Geoff "Why" 😪 😢
I lost my wallet so I phoned my bank to cancel my card, and they asked me if I wanted a code so that you can get cash out of an ATM. Imagine if we had a cashless society, I would have had no way to pay for anything until my replacement card came through the post.
Thank heavens I live in Guernsey (pop. 80k). At least once a week there's a post on the local FB page of a wallet/purse/glasses/keys found and within an hour, returned. The other thing is in the supermarket, forgotten a purse, and the person behind just pays for the shopping. Really not unusual.
Makes you lose faith in humanity when that occurs. My old mum found a wallet at a bus stop and handed it to me. I looked inside and saw that it belonged to a young squaddie with his army ID, cards and cash. Handed it in immediately at the main police station. On reflection, wish I'd dropped it off at the local Territorial Army centre as I suspect the cops would probably pinch the cash and return the wallet.
I popped in morrisons yesterday and the juice Isle had a voice over saying that they have cctv for my safety. I'm now considering not going in there without a camouflage lol
The local one here won't accept my payments at the self-checkout (refused at least once each time I visit) and the barrier they install at the exit to the exit (you're still in the store therefore, even if you had unpaid goods on you you haven't stolen them until you leave the premises) refuses to open to let me thru. They still have manned checkouts, but for how much longer? Retail is getting to be a real horror show.
Please do keep us up to date. usually such crimes get ignored. It can be very frustrating when the police don't care. 'Crimes' such as accidentally entering a bus lane get swift punishment.
That's unfortunate but what I can say contact bank cards it was a very bad idea to start with sorry thats happened to you, you not the first and you won't be the last. I thing is cameras are not here to help you or me or anyone cameras are for the wrong reasons. Good luck in finding the person love to see the outcome.
My partner found a card while walking my dog, I phoned the bank and reported it straight away. They informed me that it was still valid and cancelled it. Why anyone would not do what we did astounds me. Hope you do get the chance to ask the little shit why ,
GDPR bollocks prevents you from doing your own detective work , i once had to ask a garage to look at cctv to see who left a dent in my car, the garage said they could look but would not be allowed to disclose the pictures due to GDPR and had to get the police to go in. Stores especially Tesco have the facility to enter your card number and automatically bring up the the cctv footage - whether they will give you the footage is another question. You may have to ask the police but cos its under £200 probably put it in the b1n file.
I found a fuel card once at a filling station and i posted it on facebook, one of the commenter said "If i had the code use it" but a while later the owner contacted me and by that time i had gone to the grocery store so we met there and i gave him the card back
It's well-known in Turkey some bar staff secretly photo your card then chat to see where you are from and how long you are there for, that's all they need.
My card , unbeknown to me dropped out of wallet when paying for fuel with cash.luckely for me,a honest person handed it in to attendant.had to prove it was mine,but got it back.nice to know that there's honest people about
From what I gather, you can disable said card from your online banking services. We have that option in the account app, every bank is different of corse. You can then get s new one. Hopefully it's resolved.
Geoff tell the police the person who used your card was Far Right the whole station will be on it..
Also say to them "I'm a lady, call me Ms" which will mean it's a crime against a protected class of person.
Just say they bought a mother's day card and flowers, obviously far right 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
If the person was buying the British flag, they would have all the CCTV from when the card was found then right to the person's front door.
Or try the inverse of this and claim you are an asylum seeker and now feel violated by some hurty words and someone spending your benefits...

@@MillhouseSpeaksTech isn’t inherently bad. It’s when it’s used for malign purposes that it’s realised that, had that particular piece of tech not been present, the malign act couldn’t have been done.
Worst is forced use of tech, whether you wanted it or not, using the excuse of “convenience” & if you point out the malign purposes to which this could be put, you’re a “tinfoil hat wearing nutjob, mate”.
CANNOT believe how much I enjoyed this laid back card theft video G
This could be very interesting and revealing, there is a victim and a criminal but will we see justice?, 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
There's more chance that Geoff will get a police visit for posting about it on the internet
@@totalutternutter He will for sure 🤣
In America stealing less than $1000 from a store isn't a crime! Wondering why the world is going to crap.
In the UK, I think it's less than £200, it's usually a fine, over that it's prison afaik.
Correction to your comment - Theft is only allowed in the Socialist Democrat run States in America...
WRONG (not all of America allows stealing) ....
Just in looney left cities (NY, LA, SF
When I left the UK 8 years ago, someone took my old home address and my name and went to 6 UK phone shops and get themselves 6 New iPhones in my name.
The first thing I knew about it was when a debt collector company turned up to my fathers House and demanded to take my dads furniture to pay my outstanding contract bills. It turned out you don’t need any ID to take out a phone contract. Only a name and address. 🤷🏻♂️
those debt collector companies are disgusting
Looking forward to what happens next. A very useful bit of public service broadcasting, thank you Geoff.
If you find a card call the number on the back or call 159 to connect safely to most banks.
The bank will cancel the card and contact the customer.
Never hand it in anywhere.
Please promote 159
Had my card cloned at a petrol station quite a few years ago. Went to the pub oblivious to the fact. Got up the next morning and checked my bank balance which was about £800 the wrong way … a night out I might not have remembered having spent that much, however I did remember it and therefore the alarm bells rang.
So, cancelled the card. Had to go into the bank every day to confirm it was a payment I’d made or not. The owner of the cloned card was buying lots of fuel on the Western side of the North Circular in London (quite a distance from where I live), more petrol near Victoria Station, then Tesco on Tottenham Court Road and the cherry on the cake … a debt collection agency multiple times!!!!
It turns out the petrol station was skimming everyone’s cards, not a clever move as the banks of course all had card payments from that particular hub of scum and villainy.
Quite a chunk of money went, got repaid eventually and a new card. But, it was a pain in the backside and I didn’t get asked to go to court so I could eyeball the scumbags, disappointing.
They may have been diverse people. There was a petrol station near me where the diverse staff were billing the cards for their own purposes as well as for your petrol. Unless you're The Post Office you can prosecute diverse staff for fraud.
Fascinating Geoff I look forward very much to your investigating 😊
As Geoff says, using a stolen card to buy good and useful things is almost forgivable.
Guess what will happen to the thief if and when they are found ? Nothing !
Although, that could depend on their ethnicity/religious beliefs 🤔
Depends on who finds them. Geoff's a nice bloke but where I live if that happens, and you get found out you better move home!
The other side of the coin. One evening I went to cashpoint to withdraw £100. Immediately three youths stood behind me. Fearing I was going to be mugged, I fumbled in the end cancelled the transaction and walked away, One of the guys called me, and said hay mate you’ve left your money behind and walked over and handed me the hundred pounds. Relieved., I said thank you very much, that’s really nice, I was a bit afraid that something bad was going to happen. He said we would never do that. have a nice evening..
The point being that we shouldn’t prejudge.
he didn't load up on translations because tap would would call up asking for the pin . tap has to be the worst idea ever with regard to payments
Unfortunately the police will regard the theft of £100 as low level crime not worth investigating
Help scrap net zero. Vote Reform👍
The very same Reform who are sponsored by Moderna and Pfizer, BlackRock and Vanguard. Yeah, they really are going to be on YOUR side, not. Go look for yourself.

I always said this contactless cards are Dangerous. It need to stop.
Just tell the bank to disable it!
Chip & Pin flawed as it is nobody is going too hold your down and cut off your fingers until your reveal your pin. Quickest way too get any money is find the mad eccentric and lift their mattres because Banks are for idiots Doesn't have CCTV as the Chinese might be watching them listening to Radio 4 Play Of The Day
Don't want a Smart Meter as its all about forced control .So uses Physical Cash to pay their Bill on dark December Night at the local Corner Shop. Tiptoeing through and over the local Crack Heads
Geoff's issue was he didn't notice it missing like the other poster said if you have Online Banking you can disable it straight away
Transactions don't instantly leave your Bank/Building Society Account you report it or block it quick enough they'll just be rejected at the second hurdle.
The biggest hidden fraud with all Contactless Cards is Family Members and Employees with company cards.
Retail stores will forward all Fraudulent Transactions (Images) to the In-House Head Office Security who'll lasion with the local Police.and Card Companies
The local Police nine times out of ten will know them. As in the case with the donuts who won 4m on that stolen Debit Card/Scratchcard in Manchester. Was the £10 the actually collected they were charged with😂
It’s highly unlikely the police will help you,that’s not their job anymore apparently
under £200 they won't bother as there's no prison time.
Very nice of you Geoff
Thanks Geoff totally agree with you 😮
Your spot on with cctv, it is NOT there to help us, because the police don't want to know.
Top advice I was given.
Scratch off the 3 digit
Security number in the back.
..
A mate rented a property for about 10years.
Moved out.
To another place.
..
The new arrival into my mates old place decided to set up a load of accounts in his name.
(Post kept going to the old adress).
Went on a spending spree with online catalogues, etc
built up quite a bit of debt.
..
Which then prevented my mate from obtaining a mortgage..
...
Took a long time to counteract the bad credit...
The reson they did not spend more than £40 at a go is the contactless limit on cards it used to be 50 but now it's 100 without pin .
Which is why everyone should disable contactless.
@@angleseyandy9110 indeed for saving a few seconds all your doing is opening yourself up to fraud & a crap ton of headaches
But you only get a limited number of uses before they ask for a PIN, but there's no guidelines of when they ask.
@@LoremIpsum1970 if you disable contactless nothing would have been stolen at all.
@@angleseyandy9110 I only enable online two-factor authentication on any card, use G-Pay only. And they still cloned my card...and they're still trying to used the old card six months later.
Two words. Data protection. In a just world they'd let you see the footage in all those places. Public areas of course but no! It's built for them not us.
Never mind that distraction. Fix that roof lining!
This has just reminded me, I severed the circuits on my first contactless card, I need to google how to do disable my my new one.
Call the bank immediately. Then you can have a new card.
Society has been what I call the "MeMeMe" society for a long while. And COVID proved that. While there were a few helping others the majority were only worrying about themselves.
I think a good barometer of society is the UK road system. How a majority people use the roads and drive is a reflection of how they treat others. Not waiting at giveway lines, forcing their way into queueing traffic. Parking on pavements. Driving without insurance or a license and road rage.
The police will not look into it to low value crime.
But will for drivers going 4mph in a 30 or 40! The stats is what they go for & to please the road safety folks out there.
@tardeliesmagic They're a business with a business model. Profit is all that matters and speeding fines are an easy touch
@@loonaticsrunningtheassylum Remember some years ago (Maybe 10yrs ago) it was in the papers that Police won't come out to someone shoplifting less than £1. And do remember Police wants to ban motorists because learners are on the road incl those who passed....to balance the vehicles on the road!
This is why i refuse to have a bank card that can be found and used without a pin.
Even then they can be cloned if you use a cash machine.
Cash is my first choice, but i only carry enough to pay for items that i will purchase that day.
I keep my bank card in a seperate wallet to my cash, and an emergency credit card at home
This ensures that i can still live if one is lost or stolen.
Do you own a TV licence too?
@@tims9434 No, i don't even own a TV
Every bank will disable contactless if requested.
@@angleseyandy9110 I am with Nationwide, they allow you to request a bank card that does not have a
contacless chip.
Very interesting points you raise
Well at least it hasnt been used to charge an EV. That would be humiliating
🇬🇧Used a card once at a hotel in Leeds, the card was cloned and used in several shops in Leeds. The hotel manager said it was impossible. A hotel chain that we all know 😮🇬🇧
You’ve described about £12,000 of police budget “work” on a zero priority matter .
I deactivated the contactless facility on my card and blocked out the three numbers on the back committing it to memory. I'm quite happy putting in my pin for transactions.
nice video Jeff , had my card cloned at Beaconfields services on the M40 , they brought meals at weatherspoons on the first day and when they did it again the next day . at that point my bank texted me in holland as we were driving there and stopped on the way down to ask if I had used it. The fraud dept phoned me and blocked the card and gave me the money back. good luck in getting yours back
Send the Retail businesses a Subject Access Request requesting disclosure right away for ALL the CCTV at the time of the transactions.
Your comment about "could have been a little old lady" struck home with me. My mother, 95, shopping in Morrisons Hereford couldn't reach a product from a high shelf, she was offered help and the helpers colleague stole her purse whilst she was distracted. So, it does happen! Security helpful but said nothing could be done; police aren't interested if they are called, etc etc. I remember when people would look out for our elderly...
i like your style on helping people with cars etc i am the same
Back in 1969 when I was 11 years old, I found a five pound note in the street. I took it to the police station and filled out a form. A month (I think) later, I went back to the police and found no-one had claimed it, so it was mine. This was not a trivial sum to me as my pocket money was two shillings a week - so this was nearly a *year's* pocket money. Sometimes honesty pays. 😀
Friend found a boxed up ghetto blaster (this was sometime ago) hidden in his front garden one morning. Handed it into the police. A couple of months later they asked if he wanted it as there was no claim for it. Apparently the police tried to track the importer down but it was only available abroad so was never sure where it came from.
They won’t let you see the cctv, the Goons won’t do anything, put it down to experience
Good on you Geoff. Love your approach. If they d bought toys for their kids, or nappies with your card…❤
you can do a request for all the footage and make a video of this person enjoying your money.
Banks don't investigate. Far too common..
Geoff all you have to do is report to the police, provide them with details of the transactions, exact times and locations, they will do the CCTV requests to the stores.
Loved your attitude to the whole issue.
The thieves bought and consumed a Macdonalds. Justice has been served....😅
Two transactions at Tesco? I'll bet the £36 was for 2 x 30g packs of rolling tobacco and the £42 was for groceries. You can't buy cigs and a trolley full of groceries at the same time in large Tesco's hence the two transactions. So tell the cops they're looking for a smoker.
I learned relatively quick just to cancel the card that way chancers who might find it will not be able to use any further! Plus if you phone your bank and dispute those transactions under Fraud you'll get all that money back...Yeh you will get the money back. I've had this happen before.
Much respect Geoff! '
One of my members of staff found a £20 note in my shop, we checked our cctv and recognised the customer, I put the money aside in our til until she came in next and when she did I gave her back her money, yes it was only £20 but it may have been her last £20 & yes being a small independent shop we could do that and know our customers. If it had been an unknown customer we would've held it for a month before putting it into the air ambulance charity box we have here.
Morals cost nothing!
‘ l have a particular set of skills- such as mending the headlining in old Volvo estates’ 😂
This is why I disable contactless on all my cards. You can do that yourself in some of the mobile banking apps. Plus, by doing this, you remember it more easily when you are prompted to use it, which happens from time to time.
Thanks Geoff. Love the Chanel frock I just bought since you just tap and pay 🤣🤣
A little tip that might help, depending on your banking app, is to enable or turn on notifications. It can be a little annoying because you'll get a pop up on you phone every time there is a transaction (money in or money out). But if some tow rag does what just happened to you, you'll get an almost instant notification of the transaction, so you'll be able to stop the card there and then.
Nice to know we still live in world of honest decent people with a good set of morals 😂
Geoff I really feel for you & I am so very Sorry that you have been a victim of crime. I have experienced this on more than one occasion, unfortunately. I was recently robbed by a "friend" & her cronies for my phone, if she had asked I would have gladly bought her a new phone alas I was robbed & seriously assaulted & apparently I was found on the street by a stranger unconscious & rushed to hospital with a suspected brain bleed. When I came round I was concussed & confused surrounded by the South Yorkshire CID. Fast forward are this will be a book, I was absolutely shocked & heart broke 💔 to realise that someone who I have known all my life could have done this to me for a mobile. I still find it extremely hard to come to terms with 😢 Yes Geoff "Why" 😪 😢
None of my cards are contactless, for this exact reason.
Are you sure!!!
I lost my wallet so I phoned my bank to cancel my card, and they asked me if I wanted a code so that you can get cash out of an ATM.
Imagine if we had a cashless society, I would have had no way to pay for anything until my replacement card came through the post.
They will offer you a digital implant in your right hand or your forehead, like the Mark of the Beast in the Bible
It would be a good test to see if all the cctv are working to catch bad guys or are they BS
At Tesco they could show the image from the till camera as the card is used. So a wide frame of time is not required.
Thank heavens I live in Guernsey (pop. 80k). At least once a week there's a post on the local FB page of a wallet/purse/glasses/keys found and within an hour, returned. The other thing is in the supermarket, forgotten a purse, and the person behind just pays for the shopping. Really not unusual.
Finland is the same where I live
Makes you lose faith in humanity when that occurs. My old mum found a wallet at a bus stop and handed it to me. I looked inside and saw that it belonged to a young squaddie with his army ID, cards and cash. Handed it in immediately at the main police station. On reflection, wish I'd dropped it off at the local Territorial Army centre as I suspect the cops would probably pinch the cash and return the wallet.
Your roof is falling apart Geoff 👍
I think thats his surfboard strap.
Lucky and sort of strange that they didn't use more money from the card.
Very disappointing to see dishonesty, hope you get your money back, Geoff 😊
I always contact the bank to notify them. I have found the card and then destroy it.
I popped in morrisons yesterday and the juice Isle had a voice over saying that they have cctv for my safety. I'm now considering not going in there without a camouflage lol
The local one here won't accept my payments at the self-checkout (refused at least once each time I visit) and the barrier they install at the exit to the exit (you're still in the store therefore, even if you had unpaid goods on you you haven't stolen them until you leave the premises) refuses to open to let me thru. They still have manned checkouts, but for how much longer? Retail is getting to be a real horror show.
Please do keep us up to date. usually such crimes get ignored. It can be very frustrating when the police don't care. 'Crimes' such as accidentally entering a bus lane get swift punishment.
Everything good you do makes the world a better place, everything bad you do makes the world an infinitely worse place.
Its nice that McDonald's in Kiddy. Better than the one in Worcester by miles.
In general the police are about as much use as a catflap in a elephant house.
Loads of people seem to be driving around with 12+ points.
They will do nothing except give you the money back.
The app for your bank is very useful. All transactions go ‘ping’ and details appear on your phone, whether locked or unlocked.
That's unfortunate but what I can say contact bank cards it was a very bad idea to start with sorry thats happened to you, you not the first and you won't be the last.
I thing is cameras are not here to help you or me or anyone cameras are for the wrong reasons.
Good luck in finding the person love to see the outcome.
My partner found a card while walking my dog, I phoned the bank and reported it straight away. They informed me that it was still valid and cancelled it. Why anyone would not do what we did astounds me. Hope you do get the chance to ask the little shit why ,
The police cant be arsed chasing this sort of thing up, And the worst thing to happen was when they raised the spending limit on chip & pin,
I really hope u get ur money back some people are just scum I hope u get things sorted ❤
GDPR bollocks prevents you from doing your own detective work , i once had to ask a garage to look at cctv to see who left a dent in my car, the garage said they could look but would not be allowed to disclose the pictures due to GDPR and had to get the police to go in. Stores especially Tesco have the facility to enter your card number and automatically bring up the the cctv footage - whether they will give you the footage is another question. You may have to ask the police but cos its under £200 probably put it in the b1n file.
you were lucky it was only £100 would more likely have been £1000+ in London!
A shortage of morals. Sadly.
I found a fuel card once at a filling station and i posted it on facebook, one of the commenter said "If i had the code use it" but a while later the owner contacted me and by that time i had gone to the grocery store so we met there and i gave him the card back
It's well-known in Turkey some bar staff secretly photo your card then chat to see where you are from and how long you are there for, that's all they need.
My card , unbeknown to me dropped out of wallet when paying for fuel with cash.luckely for me,a honest person handed it in to attendant.had to prove it was mine,but got it back.nice to know that there's honest people about
Had a rental car on my card that was cloned, police never followed it up!
From what I gather, you can disable said card from your online banking services. We have that option in the account app, every bank is different of corse. You can then get s new one. Hopefully it's resolved.
The bank doesn't prosecute they will do nothing other than give you your money back
