Lost collection keys
I just lost my collection keys. Not told managers yet. Will inform them tomorrow. Any advice please? I'm sure some1 has done that mistake before

Re: Lost collection keys
Losing keys isn't a big deal, we are only human. Not telling your manager straight away will cause you more problems.
I lost both collection and van keys in an awful area, reported and never had to worry about it again. Apart from my co-workers taking the mic.

Re: Lost collection keys
If you are still at the office Umair, ask for two spare keys and go back out and visit both boxes.

Yes if a dog walker or member of general public sees it
they may put the keys into the box for safeguarding.
It's happened to me before, but always recoverable.

Re: Lost collection keys
I did it just last week, the lady in the florist opposite took it out and phoned up and they told her to post it in the box. recovered next day. I dread to think what happens if someone takes them.
"Just take it out and see how you go......."

Re: Lost collection keys
Who's meant to be responsible for the signing in and out of keys? Why didn't they check that all the keys were handed back in?

Re: Lost collection keys
I’ve left keys in my last collection box before. It was annoying but I went straight back out and luckily they were still in there.
