  1. Hey, thanks for your understanding and help there. Much appriciated... Obviously, you never make silly mistakes. If only i could live up to your standards.[/sarcasm] Thanks to everyone else for their advice. I'm pretty sure its a lost cause anyway, and as sombody said - lesson learnt. heh..
  2. This may sound silly, but, how? Ive never had any experience with this. Do i just walk into my local police station, and say what? I know there is some pretty heft CCTV for the city that looks down on the car park from a nearby high rise building. I know this because i used to work at this very supermarket as a student. They could follow shoplifters out of the store and accross the carpark etc. But, would the police really rewind cctv for such a silly, low rated crime?
  3. Hello all, I had gone on a night out wuith some colleagues from work, the friday just gone (28th) and towards the end of the night, a friend of mine was very ill (alchol related). It seemed to hit him when we stepped outside. He was in no ability to stand up nor communicate clearly. He was a wreck. I took it upon myself to get him home. I knew his address by luck, it was printed on his driving license. I tried to call a taxi but all that arrived would not take me due to the state of my friend. I dont blame them. One gentlemen did, however, and luckily he had a minibus taxi. He looked at him and listened to my urge that he HAD to get home. I'd pay if any mess was made to his taxi. He seemed a genuine man - he helped me carry my friend into the taxi, where he was slumped on the floor. I told him we needed to go via a cash point, to pay for the ride. The driver agreed and we stopped at a local sainsburys supermarket. My friend was being really ill. He was choking and small amounts of vomit were coming up. I'm a nurse, and took care of him on the floor of the taxi (you know, recovery position, airway presevation etc). The driver came round and I asked him how much i'd need. The fare would be £20, plus £30 fee for the mess that was now being made. I accepted this, and requested the driver take the money out of my account for me. I know, this was MADNESS but i was stuck. I didnt want to leave my friend for fear he choke...and the driver seemed genuine and even MY judgement was clouded by the night out. Long story short, we got my friend home. I phoned my telephone bank to check...as id now sobered up a little and panicked that ive given a stranger my bank card. He'd taken £100 out my account. Sh!t... I know im screwed here, but is there anything i can do? I'm aware i dont know his taxi number, nor his name or vehicle reg - and to make matters worse he wasnt a booked driver. All i know is the entry on my bank statement. What, if anything, can i do. Thankyou for reading.
