I’m sad to say that during the course of this week we have had our first and only case of theft from OMC.
I have waited till now to post this for two reasons.
Firstly, and slightly naively, in the hope that I was mistaken and the items concerned were just mislaid, after the customer had left, but sadly this was not the case. (Each tool box is checked per customer)
Secondly, if I had posted this earlier in the week, it may have been apparent to some customers who the perpetrator may be and that would leave the person exposed to a potential witch hunt via social media, something that I really don’t want to happen.
Now there is a way out of this for the person concerned, return the items either by dropping them in the post box, when we are not here, or by bringing them in person and we can all put it down to a silly oversight/misunderstanding
However if these items are not returned the next time the individual steps foot into OMC they will be asked to leave and never return.
Jeez mate, if i was fit i would happily break there fingers for you!! On a serious not, i have a camera system for sale if interested. See you in a couple of weeks!
They might have absentmindedly picked them up, particularly if they were also using their own tools in addition to OMCs tools. For example, a friend of mine recently came to my house and found one of her DVDs in my DVD collection. I had borrowed it months before and forgotten to give it back. She was fine about it, but it goes to show that sometimes mistakes can be made. I have also gone to friends’ homes and seen books I had lent them ages ago in their bookshelves!
I’m not excusing anyone stealing anything - but before we all jump in, just saying the person might have indeed made a genuine mistake and accidently gone off with them. They might be mortified on reading this thread and give them back post haste!
I hope the tools get recovered very soon anyway and keep up the good work OMC Don’t be discouraged by this.
Was it an expensive tool or even one that is hard to find?
(Im not excusing them at all) But maybe they thought they could “Borrow” it for a job at home or something inthe hope to return it without anyone knowing…
what a shame indeed… That’s no way to treat other biker mates especially someone who is providing an excellent service such as yourself…
Hope it’ll be returned asap!
I would give them time to return the item(s) just in case they put them into there bag in error. Easliy done. Just in case theyhaven’t seen the 2 posts send a PM after 24hrs.
Don’t be discouraged by this.
