A Bristol man claims his stolen wallet has been “stashed” on a Bristol school site. But despite alerting the school and the police, he says neither is taking his claims seriously.
George Crawford-Hunt, who until recently lived on Fernbank Road in Redland, believes his wallet, which was stolen from his car, has been hidden on the Redland Green School site after a “tracker” inside it notified him that it was just a 10-minute walk from his former home. But when he contacted the school to find out if it had been handed in he was told he could not enter the school grounds without a member of staff or a police officer.
He said: “I was then forced to contact the police, who I had already reported the initial break-in to and ask for their help. However, I was told that they were not interested and that it wasn’t worth their time. It’s just the frustration of knowing that my stolen property has been proven to be on the premises but the police and the school don't seem to care. It may not be a big issue to them to retrieve it but it’s personal to me.”
