Whilst at the gym i had my locker broken into and some cash and my Blackberry was taken, i was obviously targeted as i have never been in the porker before but it was a nice day and i hadn't used it for a couple of weeks, luckily i gave my wife the car keys on the way in, the Village hotel group were not overly interested and police have not been to look at cctv, so its back to the mountain bike for exercise, and £50 a month more for petrol.

Lesson is never leave car keys in a locked locker, the thieving bascensoreds must have been gutted not to get the car.

Sounds like a lucky escape. Apart from the cash and BB of course.

Thieving bds!

Fair point.
To be honest i'm in the gym most days if i get chance, and always take my keys with me for the workout, leave everything else in the locker. Too many tw*ts about mate

Yes, excellent motorway access as it's right on junction 2 of the M66 ,10 mins to Manchester, 35 mins to Leeds or Liverpool.

A pal of mine had this at the same place. He was in his Citroen C5 company car and went swimming. When he came out they'd nicked his car keys and all of his clothes too. The gym lent him a T shirt and some tracky bottoms to go home problem was he's about 6'3" and they were about a foot too short.

It could have been worse for me than i imagined, i thought they were after my car, at least they left my pants. There is obviously a problem with this hotel, hope your pal has also cancelled his membership.

Harder if swimming but I'll always take the keys into the gym with me just in case there's some scum around. It's not uncommon.

wow lucky escape.

It's BS that no one cares when someone steals your car or bike frown. I had my bike stolen at the train station and NO ONE CARED WHAT SO EVER. It was a pathetic joke.

Jamie at Performance Car Finance reported a similar incident at a gym in London (I think for one of his customers but I could be wrong) a few years ago. Sorry you got turned over, but well done for giving your Mrs the keys.
