A lovely 2 night 3 day staff in London was marred by the theft of all the notes in my wallet...
What I cannot work out is how anyone did it!
I last used my wallet at Spitalfields Market at around midday on Sunday, using £10 to purchase a bottle of water.
The wallet was then placed inside my jacket breast zipped pocket where it remained until later that evening when I took it out to leave a tip for our evening meal, my Mrs paid with a card. The jacket was over my chair during the meal but the restaurant was nt busy. I cannot say 100% that the money had nt already been taken, but I think in going in to the coin compartment for the tip I would have noticed the wallet being without notes.
Earlier we had been on the London Eye and again I had nt removed my jacket.
I did however remove it for the 4d experience prior to the London Eye ride.
I removed the jacket as the room in which we had the "short show" was very warm, but when I noticed it was likely we were going to get splashed etc during the show I put the jacket back on, but backwards just to protect my shirt - it's feasible someone behind took out the wallet, removed the money and then put back the wallet - but unlikely given the layout of the room - ie you lean against a metal rail and those behind you are several feet above you so anyone doing the theft would have had to be leaning right down.
Back at the Premiere Inn my wallet stayed inside my jacket hung up in the room until Monday morning when I took it down with me to breakfast along with my mobile phone, carrying them together.
It was not until around midday when after queuing for entry to the National History Museum did I get my wallet out to buy a guidebook did I notice all the notes had GONE!
Curiously on our first morning at the Premiere Inn we took all four card-keys down to breakfast and when we returned to our room, noticed we only had three. My Mrs went down to speak to the woman seating everyone and she said "It's gone...." to which we assumed she meant it's been handed in to reception. But reception had not had it handed in. We decided with reception not to ask for a 4th card as we really only needed two. In hindsight we should have returned all the key cards we had and asked for them to be re-programmed.
But do you really think someone could have come in to our room in the middle of the night and removed the cash from my wallet, leaving the debit and credit card?
I've since cancelled the cards just in case!
I just don't have any other explanation as to how the cash went but not the whole wallet or cards? It's as if by just taking the cash they hoped I would nt notice until we were away from the scene of the crime...
I just don't know, I've been going over and over in my head if I paid for anything else after the water, if my jacket or wallet was left unattended anywhere, but it was nt....
