Postmen included. :Very Happy

I've seen people lose them, luckily for them reserves who just take a random one out with them that's left in the cabinet, so there's no way of proving they lost it as they don't have their own numbered one. It's a mistake and you shouldn't get dealt with too heavily for mistakes as opposed to negligence - if the DIM gets arsey make sure you keep stressing the word 'mistake'.

Probably get handed in over the next few days. As mentioned it's no good to anyone else. Remember that annoying habit they have of keep asking you to enter your PIN? Well now that works in your favour because it will have locked itself and no one else can use it. So Management can't even say there's any security issues associated with losing it.....It's just a plastic box! Try not to stress. :cuppa

I lost one a couple of years back, eventually turned up two weeks later at a police station. Also left one in a sleeve once when loading a van and it ended up in Edinburgh. I have also broken two.

Managers don't seem to be bothered when it comes to PDA's so wouldn't worry about it.

Ooops http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... =1&t=51446" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; When you posted that Glenno replied with the managers guide - download it and check everything out but if your colleague was okay you should be also.

Best one we had lost was , postman crossing the river over a weir and yes it fell out of his bag into the weir never to be seen again and he wasn't disciplined .

At least it would have got a nice wash in the river! Some of the ones I've used are rather grubby :Sick
