Yes, it's another cleaning company thread...and it's an annoying one.

My mom has a favorite necklace. It's a gold chain with a pendant that looks like my dog. (bought it for my mom right after my dog died. She LOVES this necklace. It's her favorite. It's a chunk of solid gold that's not very big, but it really does look like TinyMonsters)

She wore it last saturday. I dont remember her wearing it sunday or monday.

We had our house cleaned on monday. We have a new cleaning lady, and that was only the third time she and her employee cleaned our house.

Today, mom was looking for her necklace. This is where things get weird. She found the dog pendant, but she cant find the chain. She never takes the pendant off the chain. The chain is long enough she can put the necklace over her head without touching the clasp.

It's just really weird that the chain is nowhere to be seen. I looked. I used a flashlight on the carpeting to look and see if could find the chain if it was broken and on the floor. (was hoping the chain would reflect from the flashlight) Didnt find anything.

I dont know why the pendant was taken off the chain. Mom swears she didnt do it. She's not missing any other pendants or chains that I can tell.

If someone took the chain, why didnt the pendant get taken? (really glad the pendant is still here. We can get a new chain, that pendant is irreplaceable)

Does it sound like the chain "walked away"? (i.e., kidnapped, chain-napped?)

I cant just accuse the cleaning lady or her employee without any proof. I'm seriously considering telling my parents to fire this particular cleaning company, just because of the suspicion. (it's a lady who has an employee that helps her clean. Not sure she has other employees, so I'm pretty sure the company is just the woman and her helper) My dad isnt planning on saying anything. He said we'd just watch next time they're here.

I'm more of the opinion that we fire their as*ahem*...rear ends, and tell them we dont need them anymore.

It's just a been there, done that kind of feeling. We were ripped off once before about 5yrs ago by another employee of a nation-wide cleaning company.

Anyone else think the chain was stolen? and, do you think we need to fire this cleaning company?

I guess we can live in filth for awhile...it would certainly save us the $100 that we're paying them every two weeks, and I havent been particularly impressed with this company's work anyways.
