Disgruntled employee

[Jonny TVR]

A sales guy who has our lease car, ipad and iphone is being uncooperative in returning these. She moved address recently and won't give the new address. The only form of communication is by our iphone. She was supposed to meet me at the train station near her house today but she has cancelled. She officially stopped working for us 11 days ago. What can we do. Report as stolen? other methods? she also has the spare key! even if we found it

[randlemarcus]

Find my iPhone? She did use her corporate account to set it up, yes?

[Willeh85]

Run a credit check and get her address that way? Failing that surely just report it to the police 101 and you'll have your property back fairly sharpish?

[randlemarcus]

Last pay by cheque, in person, in exchange for your stuff? I suspect the police will be utterly disinterested, claiming civil problem, please FO.

[MrSparks]

Sounds like theft to me now.... I'd call the police on 101 and report it. Soon get your stuff back I bet.

Unfortunately its her apple account so cant find my iphone.

Already been paid (lesson learnt there!).

She has only moved to her new address so can't imagine she has registered it and its rented.

Only leaves the police.

Threaten it first. Bet she will return it sharpish rather than risk a criminal record.

Did she need a reference?

Is she disgruntled because you kept calling her a man?

No .. probably use previous employer as she only worked for us for 3 months as she was a complete bloody nightmare!

You could have a point!!!

[Mr Pointy]

Was she driving on the companies insurance policy? If so remove her from it & advise the police that she is driving without insurance. With luck she'll get pulled by an ANPRS camera.

Don't forget she needs to remove the iPad & iPhone form her Apple account or they will be totally useless to you. She will probably try not to do this given the way she has messed you around already.

[Tyre Tread]

Did she drive the car on company insurance?

Oh well if she has said that then she has definitely stolen it. Go for it.

[SpeckledJim]

Surely this is theft now? The property was never hers, so HAD to be returned on your say-so?

Crack on then. A fair few lessons to learn here, I think. I suppose it's good that they've all come at once. Car is going to be the easiest thing for the police to track. Might be worth seeing if your mobile provider will do a temporary block on the IMEI - she's almost certainly swapped SIM cards, so that will have no effect, and as far as Apple are concerned, they are her devices. If you have original receipts for them, you might try reporting them to Apple as stolen, but the internet reports it can be fun getting them re-activated once they have been killed. Your mileage may vary.

If the threat of calling the Police to report the car as stolen isn't enough for her to play ball, I really don't see what other option you have here other than to carry out that threat.

I would just hurry up and do so, before she parks it somewhere and walks away from it and posts the keys back to you.

[BRISTOL86]

Bottom line is if she no longer works for you and refuses to return company property then it's theft.

Police have to take it seriously.

Police all day long!
