Why get the 3rd person, haven't you heard 2's a company 3's a crowd? Besides, you can always have coffee with him at home, unless he's paying for all our coffee with muffins :-)

And don't worry I will send everyone who wants tuition for all those subjects you mentioned, if you send me only female students above 18 who need extra classes in human anatomy :-P

Lessons:

1. Do not hire maids not on your sponsor.

2. Do not put "too big amount" of money somewhere in the house

(give it to me...LOL)

and I suppose the amount was not much compared to all the noise you have made on this thread. Yeah go ahead, complain and then keep the amount as advised above by Alumnar above ready to pay to the authorities for employing a runaway worker.

By Alumnar• 31 Oct 2011 21:22

Fine for ILLEGALLY employing a househelp who is not under your sponsorship can go up to 50,000 Riyals so better think again!

can't help but laugh at colt's comments..wtg! btw, hurts to know that your part time maid/suspect is a FILIPINA (sorry but had to correct, it is not PHILLIPINA :D) but as suggested by others, you should have at least checked her things before letting her get out of your house, if you are really sure that she took your money. now that she's gone and you being busy here in QL (hope your cupboard is now locked, just in case) it will be difficult to get that money back, don't you think? with or without police being involve..just saying!

its so easy to blame the maid and normally thats the easiest way to put the blame on somebody else and i suppose lots of employers do that out here. I suppose you are to blame rather then the maid for keeping money or for that matter any valuables in sight of persons you dont even know or trust. Now the maid is going to have a difficult time with the authorities for something she may not have done.

To file a complaint against her in the police might just put you into trouble, since she is rendering household services to you but not under your sponsorship.

It is always safe to hire housemaids legally. However for those who are not willing to sponsor one for whatever reason, I agree with COLT45, we would rather consider doing household chores as beneficial to our health.

hk, do you have a copy of her rp, if she is a legitimate sponsored person and not a runaway?do you know which company she works for, or the name of the sponsor. if she has really stolen from you, she might just stop working for you after a few days, if not immediately.if you dont have any identification of hers, there is no way of tracking her, other than giving her name to the police. do you know her full name, her adress here.

you can still file a complaint, take her with you, if you are a hundred percent sure that she has stolen it, and see how it goes.for all you know, the police might say that they cant get your money back and will give you a stern warning agaisnt employing part time maids.But since a complaint is lodged, she will be on their suspected offenders list. she will be careful repeating this again, because next time she wont be lucky.

by the way, you kept lots of money in the cupboard and forgot to lock it, its not a reason to hate this place.

all the best.

wats the use of crying over a split milk ? :( (LOL)

evidence like only we both were in the house at tht time nd tht very morning i had kept the money so tht i dont forget to giv it to my husband so tht he is able to transfer to india in the evening.i was a bit busy with the kids in the meantime she flicked it frm the cupboard coz like a fool i had not locked it as i was just around.

well that also ur mistake why u not ask her to check her things before she left that is ur right so that u have evidence and u have the right to complain to police. and we all know that hiring an illegal maid is illegal right? hard to complain without valid proof u know that....... take your own risk....... careful next time...

Why do you keep so money at home in the first place. You keep the money in the Back and take out what you need rather than leave it lying around.

If you have firm evidence then go to the Police.

By hkcapricorn76• 31 Oct 2011 08:14

too big amount doesnt have to be thousands. hard earned money even little means a lot.also it was some payment tht had to be sent to india via western union for medical treatment for family members.i have threathened her of police but she seems to be least bothered maybe she knws tht i cant complain. never knew tht phillipine maids can cause so much trouble.again the issue of police troubling me in the bargain also is a problem. seems tht i just cant do nything. feeling so helpless nd depressed

My longtime Bangladeshi houseboy did the same thing at some Lebanese house and they complained.It is not legal to hire somebody but still u can complaint.It is ur right.

why I m advising u becoz now after complaining to police my houseboy got freed and u wont trust me that my houseboy is wearing Zara shirts with proud.he uses expensive perfumes.

dont pay her wages anymore,kick her out and tell the person through whom u hired her that now CID is keeping watch on her.Frighten her to death so that she wont be able to do anything again...

You leave her alone to enjoy your money and a freedom to steal from somebody else's home too.

If people are advising u to not to complaint that means they are supporting the culprit and encouraging their own staff to steal from their houses....I mean it...

you sure that your part time maid did that?

i have a friend with the same situation. they are blaming their maid of stealing money without any evidence at all.. to the extent that the indonesian maid was almost sent back to her country. Later they found out that their 11-year old son did that..
