I believe that accountants and others work on the statistical basis that 1 in 12 people, if they have opportunity, will steal.
One then looks at the number of people in a business, divides by 12 . . . . and realises that systems need to be designed to remove that opportunity !
Splendid work by Coot - well done
Is this a lucky watch or what?!
So glad you got it back. To be totally honest I would have bet big that you'd never see it again.
Really pleased for you, OP, and kudos to Coot. Brilliant outcome
Great news, i thought it would eventually turn up, although this much sooner than I expected.
Delighted to read the OP has gotten his watch back.
Kudos to the member who helped sort this out too.
Great news. As with seemingly everyone else I was convinced it was gone. Coot, you're a legend. Seemingly like helping to find a needle in a haystack. Super work.
Been following this thread from the beginning. Great news! Big thanks to Coot.

What a fantastic turn to this thread!
Had been following and as someone else noted 'getting anxiety by proxy' - really felt for what had happened, and worse was hard to see a solution other than popping out the other end somehow by luck. Fantastic that someone was able to go out of their way to make the system do what it should, track the parcel down and get it back.
Makes me wonder why that didn't naturally happen - are there just too many such incidents and the staff don't believe it? Not being paid for it, so won't do so?
Anyway, fantastic news!
Outstanding result, forum power v couriers, no contest.
Just the best possible outcome. Well done Coot (and, yes Ireland does have some lovely people - we’re not all bad).
Wow that was an unexpected ending but certainly a happy one!
Extremely good news! Nice to see ‘strangers’ out there still helping, kudos to coot
As I result of this maybe it would an idea to take a picture of the courier picking up an item from the house and noting date, time and reg number of vehicle, at least with articles of reasonable value?
Blimey, what a story and such a great ending ! Hats off to Coot and good luck to the OP
Thanks for all the empathy chaps - I was somewhat stressed! As the strap had been adjusted I guess someone had tried it on but coot and co probably saved it from someone’s pocket.
Happy days…
