A friend informed me today that whilst she was at Church a couple of weeks ago, her handbag, phone and car keys

were stolen She was sitting on a chair with bag across back of chair and her coat fully coveringthe chair back and

bag. A man and woman came in who she had not seen before so she was a little suspicious, they talked to a couple of other people who were in the church at the time about purchasing a religious book, but left. A few minutes later she noticed the bag had gone. Police called who assisted her in phoning her bank etc as she was quite flustered as her reading glasses had been stolen as well. Phoned her husband from the church to advise him. Within a few minutes he rang back and advised that a cheque had been presented at a branch about 15 mins drive away which aroused suspicion of the bank clerk who rang her home. Talking to other people she found that there had been thefts from St. Thomas More Church during the services - people leaving their bags to take communinion and finding them gone on their return.


So if you are a church goer or attend groups etc in a church - beware not everyone attending is 'god fearing'

    • Just last week I received cheques from NS&I. I wasn't given the option of bank transfer for the particular transaction. My nearest option for a parcel pick up point was the post office! The only cash point this week was the post office as the coop ATM was broken.   Many people of whatever age are totally tech savvy but still need face to face or inside banking and post office services for certain things, not least taking out cash without the worry of being mugged at the cash point.    It's all about big business saving money at the expense of the little people who, for whatever reason, still want or need face to face service.   At least when the next banking crisis hits there won't be anywhere to queue to try and demand your money back so that'll keep the pavements clear.      
    • I think it was more amazement that anyone uses cheques on a large enough scale anymore for it to be an issue.    Are cheque books even issued to customers by banks anymore? That said government institutions seem to be one of the last bastions of this - the last cheque I think I received was a tax rebate in 2016 from HMRC.  It was very irritating.
    • I know you have had a couple of rather condescending replies, advising you to get to grips with technology and live in the modern world. I sympathise with you. I think some of us should try to be a bit more empathetic and acknowledge not everyone is a technophile. Try to see things from a perspective that is not just our own. Also, why give the banking sector carte blanche to remove any sort of human/public facing role. Is this really what we want?
