Cash missing... suspect cleaner... how to handle?

Leave £10 but write/sign your name on it with some sort of invisible ink, and/or make a note of the serial number(s).
You could go the extra mile and have pinhole cameras in some clock on wall or something.Contracting: more of the money, less of the sh1tComment

Personally, I would be direct with the suspect.
There could well be an underlying issue such as a drink; gambling or drug addiction that means your cleaner needs extra money and you may indeed be able to help. Be aware of the situation and monitor your cleaner for the obvious indicators (unreliable, dishonesty, poor personal hygiene, red eyes and the like, reeking of wine, etc, etc, etc).

How does writing in invisible ink or knowing the serial number help though... they spend it and nobody knows where it has gone?
I wonder if I could use a musical greeting card insert (you can buy them separately).Last edited by d000hg; 23 January 2013, 13:19.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Just leave the laptop on with some kind of recording software or skype to watch it. Cleaners are not the brightest lot. I don't think you need to go down the route of pin hole cameras etc. Wireless webcam with light removed etc etc....'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

This very-mini video camera:
cost me about £8 direct from China. Not amazing quality recordings, but good enough to be going on with; it records to a Micro SD card and has a motion-sensitive mode. Might be worth a punt?Comment

If I was a cleaner and was nicking your cash, I wouldn't do it every time. And I'd only do it when you had a lot of notes so wouldn't notice one or two go missing.
So if you do set a trap, and the cleaner takes some more, what will you do? Confront them? Report them to the police?
Are you sure you didn't spend the money - it's easy to pay the window cleaner, pizza delivery boy etc, and forget you've done it?Comment
