Letter: Feeling flattened by theft

On November 14 I bought an ironing board from Asda at Donnington Wood. It was the first item to go through the check-out and I propped it against the counter while I attended to my other shopping.

It was not until late afternoon I realised I had left it at the store. It had been my husband's funeral the previous day so I was not thinking clearly.

A very uninterested member of staff on the customer service desk told me nothing had been entered in the returns book and Asda could not be held responsible.

I returned to the store the next day and spoke to the duty manager who was a bit more understanding but her reply was "there are a lot of dishonest people around".

I hope the person who stole my ironing board sleeps well at night but dishonest people have no conscience so have no problem sleeping.
