Just get the bloody phone switched off.

Simple call to the provider and it's done in seconds.
How will that help him to get it back?

OP said she's not running up a bill on it. Presumably he just wants it back without her 'losing' it if anything else that might happened 'accidentally' once the theiving bint can't use it any more.

It won't help get it back but it will stop excessive usage.

It's a phone worth bugger all in teh grand scheme of things not a bar of gold.

Just glanced through this and its possible I've missed pertinent info, but is it possible that the ex-employee considers herself to be a bit, errm, special to the OP, and perhaps able to take liberties as an ex-girlfriend might?

Yeah, posting on PH should make you liable to be a source of entertainment for years to come. Lets find that bd with the nazi bunker, and bomb him.

Sorry for the length of time to re-post as only concluded this yesterday. Basically the police spoke to her and she made up a story that we still owed her money which is why she has kept the car, phone, ipad. She has indicated where the car is and we can collect that but she said that she is keeping the phone and ipad until she get whats owed. This is complete rubbish but the police now consider it a civil case rather than criminal so if we want to get the ipad and phone back then we have to take legal action against her. Not very satisfactory at all!

Probably not worth the hassle pursuing the phone and ipad. I'd make sure that I reported them as stolen to the network to get the IMEI barred though.

I assume she's not putting you down for a reference....

I was going to go after her regardless of cost on principle and contact all her ex employers MD's to make sure they also never give references. However all this isn't good use of time and energy. Plus the cost is minimal. Lesson also learnt on how disgusting some people can be.

It really isn't worth the grief... Just be thankful she hasn't opened a tribunal against you, the mediators are so biased towards the employee that you'd end up paying out just to make it go away.

Cut your losses, get the equipment disabled, and move on.

The problem you'll find is that if you tamper with their version of what kind of employee she was, based on what kind of employee she was for you, you run the risk of going to court with her. She will screw you over and she will take quite a bit of money out of the business. A lot more than an iPhone and a tablet.

Move on

I would issue a claim against her in the County Court. Knowing that you are prepared to do so may well have the desired effect.

I would also make a complaint to the police that she has your property and that is theft. I know they have said it is a civil matter but that cannot be right in law so ask to speak with a senior officer, Inspector or above.

I agree, how can the theft of your things be a civil matter. She as much admitted to the police they weren't hers.
Surely those should be handed back, and then the aledged owed money, that's a civil issue, no ?

Issue a claim for the cost of an iPhone and iPad - say £1000, that will cost the OP £60
She will be issued with a summons, she will contest it
Judge will call both into court
OP has to take a day/morning/afternoon off work
She will fail to turn up
Judge finds in your favour, CCJ is issued against her
OP is awarded the £1000, plus costs
Still then have to instruct bailiffs to enforce said CCJ

It's a lot of ball ache for a grand.

I had a similar issue when a victim of attempted identity theft. Police said no crime committed so not interested. When I took it further they did deal with it and I got a written apology from the Chief Constable.
