Damn...

 

[digitize]

Is Adam okay?

 

[trojanchick99]

That's pretty fucked up. Adam tries to do the nice thing and gets screwed.

 

[lauramullen]

Poor Adam. He is always so nice when I meet him. Shouldn't that woman be in jail for credit card fraud.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm pretty sure Adam leaves money like that stuck between the couch cushions. Probably not much of a loss.

 

[financeguy]

It's a serious hit for anyone.

 

[Diane L]

That's awful! Poor Adam.

The money isn't so much the issue, although it is important. Adam trusted this person and she stole from him. That's the worst part of it.

 

[indra]

Ouch.

 

[theedgeu2]

I hope Bono is okay!

Seriously, that's terrible. I would have done away with her instead of keep her on employment. What a stupid thing to do.

 

[Galeongirl]

Ouch, that's a nasty misuse of someone's trust there.

 

[OrARoundabout]

Oh snap!

I wonder what would suck more?

Losing that much money, or your spouse cheating with ten different people. Just curious.

 

[Slapnutz]

That's a lot of spoons.

 

[Angel-Of-Harlem]

wow, how careless can people be??
I mean, if she had asked for some money maybe he would have lent her some; and if she had been honest from the beginning she would have kept her job...
besides, its ADAM CLAYTON!! you just can't steal from him!

 

[one4u2]

I'm surprised he didn't notice

 

[kassandra]

Imagine being in a position to not notice?

It sucks to have your housekeeper steal from you, they do have free access to your home. I suppose Adam will be looking for another one soon?

Man, I hope Adam is alright too.

European maids are always in my close eye, beware of them.

 

[mama cass]

i can't believe she could have been so stupid! i mean, what a great job to have and she goes and fucks it up like that! what a horrible breach of trust...

so, anyway, where do i send my CV?

wtf is that supposed to mean?

 

[blueeyedgirl]

That's a lot of spoons.

Spoon merchants everywhere are weeping....

 

[quadcaster]

it sucks that he trusted her and she did that too him.

i really hope he's ok

I beg your pardon?????

 

[financeguy]

Often in fraud cases the victim never sees gets the money back. From my reading of this it might be possible for him to recoup some of the losses but it will probably take a long legal process. Of course it must be a stressful time for him.

yes it is! like you said, they have free access to your home. i feel for adam, to have such a breach of trust like that. i'm sure the money's pocket change to him, but it can be hard to regain trust in a situation like this, and it's not exactly like he can just not replace her or something.

 

[TonyH]

Throw her in jail!

 

[Yahweh]

I doubt its too stressful, he didnt notice it in the first place why would it be stressful now....what it does do however is it shows you eventually will get caught if you do something wrong

Good on Adam for taking this matter to court.

It's a serious hit for anyone.

I agree...
