My problems are the opposite,... I clean loads of custies who either hide a key for me or decide to go out just as I start the insides, just telling me "pull the  door out when you're finished". I clean for a couple of ppl I have never even met,.. NEVER!!! They're always at work & just hide a key under the wheelie bin!

While I appreciate their trust and would never betray it,.. I worry that if they loose something, or someone else in the house decides to pilfer then I will get the blame,..

The problem I don't get, the U K is basically a very safe country to live in. That people are so fearful to lock everything up. Last year we went away for 4 weeks and left the sliding door unlocked. (In Basingstoke) and no problem at all. Some cuties have 3 bolts on there back gate. Is someone going to nick there lawn on the garden gnomes do think people are a different in the south of England. In South Africa the African fellows say people who lock every up and put bars on the window are good pickings as they would not put so much protection up to safeguard nothing. I just don’t like been grouped with the thieving type for no reason what so ever. Its just prejudgement is it not.

trust is something earned, not a god given right.

I once worked with a guy who lived in Booysens in Johannesburg and he left his front door unlocked for years and never had a burgulary. He always said that if they wanted his TV and Video they would steal it anyway, so better save replacing the front door as well.
Then there was the sales rep that used to work the hardware shops in the centre of Pretoria. He always used to leave his estate VW Passat in the street full of power tools with the drivers window open. He never had a thing nicked in all the years I worked with Bosch Power Tools as it looked like a police setup.  ;D ;D ;D
