What's the issue with that? In the past I've employed people who're qualified up to the nines but have as much common sense as a retarded gibbon. Qualifications are all well and good (even qualifications in the field that they people want to work in) but real-life experience is equally as important.
Naturally.
first you dismiss qualifications straight off, and then now you state that they're equal with experience? anyway, my exclamation was more that you would completely disregard something so significant so indiscriminately and that i feel sorry for whoever your applicants might be, if that were the case. i agree that qualifications don't automatically bestow common sense/general intelligence etc, but your approach seems a bit extreme.

I tend to launch ALL CV's with degrees because they're generally from people who feel they're owed a job because they have some letters after their names. I employ solely on previous experience.
good grief.

He is suggesting that you are the housemate from the tale, anonymously defending yourself.
My take on it is that it is entirely the housemates fault and the loss is her responsibility. Inability to adequately master the use of a door and ignorance of the value of the contents she left unsecured do not absolve her. Why would you not give the handle a twist and the door a solid pull to check that you have indeed locked it, particularly if you are unfamiliar with it.
I do commend samueldavidkeyes reaction to it. You are a good person. I hope she comes to appreciate the break you have given her.
ahh, i see! i guess i was trying to give the housemate some benefit of the doubt as everyone else seemed to side against her. In this case i thought it was a bit harsh as a) she didn't know she was not securing the door properly , b) didn't understand the value of the contents, and c) the OP could have secured his property better.
our house got robbed before. pretty, prrretyy sure we knew which housemate left the door unlocked, but could not prove anything for sure. so had to just forget about it... and this was the front door to the actual house, and still people can't remember to lock it!!! we just had to suck it up like the OP has. the only remedy is not to live with such people in future.

^ Still a housemate.
what's wrong buddy? i put housemate this time!

I couldn't be that charitable if it were my bike that'd gone. A quick jiggle of the handle would've told her that she'd got it wrong.
Any sign of my bike/ news from insurers, SDK?
i'm siding with the housemate on this one. if she genuinely thought she was locking the door properly and securely that is. why would she think that the OP was keeping items of significant value in a garage (doesn't sound like she was told explicitly).
If I left a shed unlocked and my mate got his £500+ lawnmower nicked, i'd be, you've got a £500 lawnmower?!, why didn't you lock it to a land anchor? why didn't you tell me you had a £500 lawnmower, i might of tried locking the annoying to lock door properly. if your lawnmower is so bloody expensive why don't you hide it under your bed at night?

i don't think you should be blaming your house-mate if you can't prove anything. you seem so convinced that she left open the door. can you prove anything? does picking a lock do any more damage to a lock than using a normal key?

I'm going to have to attempt this for the first time soon, and this is the most straight forward tutorial I've seen yet. thanks Vince.
