> (In reply to blindskies) just email this thread to the people you talked to at the wall, and im sure they will sort it out thoroughly and quietly...
This is just wishful thinking. The OP has already contacted the wall and nothing meaningful seems to have happened. In most cover ups, people further up the management chain want problems to disappear and expecting them to sort it out "thoroughly" is naive. They ARE likely to do it quietly though!!
If these allegations are true there has been a significant breach of trust (and possibly a crime) in a facility open to the public where there are many opportunities for this person to continue. There is also the possibility management are covering it up because it is more widespread than this one person.
To the OP:
- Find out who owns/runs the wall. This should be shown publicy, eg on Insurance Certs, tickets etc. They should be repsonsible for their employees.
- If the sports centre is owned/run by a university write directly to their legal and HR departments explaining the situation regarding 1) their employee who allegedly took your gear and 2) the management who have not taken satisfactory action. If run by a company write similar to the most senior level (I suggest Company Secretary) of the company running the wall.
- Ask them to let you know what action will be taken against the employees and make sure they confirm the results. You could also ask them to compensate you for the actions of their employee!
- Contact the police so the alleged crime is at least recorded.
- If there is a forum for the universitysport centre (facebook group etc?) post on there asking whether other people have had items go missing.
- As a last resort try the local press.
Stop agonising, this is not just about you, this is about the other people who may have been taken advantage of in the past and to stop it happening again in the future.
I am fed up with cover ups cozy "investigations" that don't investigate; look at Catholic Church, Stafford Hospital, Rochdale Council, Savile, Plebgate, Cheetham School, MP's Expenses. Left to themselves organisations have a tendency to conceal to the detriment of members of the public.
