I handed in a wallet/purse with £15 quid or so in it. There were no identifying details in it. Told it would be mine after a few weeks.
Left it a while and then went and asked what was happening. Told the money was mine, but it wasn't where I handed it in, but at a closed location where the public had no admittance!
Went back after a few weeks and was told it was now at a site several miles away!
Went back after a few weeks and was told it was now at a site even more miles away!
Went back after a few weeks and was given another 'cock n bull story' and asked about complaints escalation procedure, as I thought I was being given 'the run around'. Received a phone call within a few hours to tell me the the cash was available for collection.
Received the cash, but not the wallet/purse, or the small change.
I've very little confidence in the integrity of local 'plod'.
I could quote another example, but I won't.
