Bag of seals

[herriots]

Hi. Sorry to butt in like this. I am no sparkie but I have cause to ask a question. See, I had my meter changed a couple of months ago and today whilst cleaning the shelves in the pantry (where the meter is located) I found a bag of meter seals (the crimp ones) on the shelf and on inspection the guy has forgot to put the seals on any of the boxes at the meter. Now, I don't want to get the chap in any trouble by phoning the meter plus company as he was a decent guy, likewise I don't want to get in trouble if it looks like I have removed them.... What to do????Sorry if this is a bit random and not what this site is for but I just needed to ask....Thanks Herriots

Just give the bloke a call im sure he would rather have his bag of seals back. Just ask him to refit yours when he picks his up.

Don't have his number as he came from Meter Plus so only have them as a contact

Well ring them back and tell them to come and finish the job then

I assume your primary concern is you don't want the guy to get into trouble. I'd just leave them next to the meter if they're not in your way. If anyone ever comes to look at it and mentions there's no seals I'd tell them at that point the guy didn't put one on and left a box of them.

Just ring meterplus and tell them that the guy who changed the meter has left some equipment behind and could he call back to collect them and when he does get him to fit your seals....simples!

That sounds like a good solution.

That's prob the best solution

I'll give you a fiver for them if they're getting in your way ;-)

( Before anyone starts moaning I was doing comedy there)

raise you to £6.

 

[camerabloke]

£20 and I'll pick them up as well

 

[Taylortwocities]

Did he leave the seal crimping tool as well? If so I'll give you £25:angel_smile:

this is not good advice.
The person with the seals could end up getting arrested for theft of electric board property possibly
suspected of removing the seal and having a spare bag of replacements, after he gets arrested and questioned he will have to prove his story is true but what if the guy who left the seals behind totally denies leaving them behind? Its good that the poster don't want to get anyone in trouble but think of numero uno is my advice. Call the company and ask them to get the guy to pick up his tool that he forgot.

Think you are overthinking things there a little.

Ring up your energy supplier, tell them to reseal meter, cut out etc.

 

[Besoeker]

I'd go for the "do nothing" option.
Feign ignorance. Should be entirely plausible if you're are not a sparky.

Chuck them in the bin and forget about it!

Are these poor seals still without a home ? at least chuck em a mackerel or 2.

 

[telectrix]

could always club them to death.
