Cheers for you help lads.  Will go the police on my way to work and report my conversation.  Should I just leave it at then?

I have spent 3 years building my round up from doing it part-time to nearly a full round.  I do not want one person destroying all my hard work.

I suggest you ask for some written proof that you have made the visit and why you have done it.  I say this because as you are not actually reporting a crime, the person on the desk may be loathe to record it properly.  Of course it is possible that she may be about to attempt an insurance scam - though it's unlikely they would pay her because they normally insist on "forced or violent entry" before paying.  Leaving her door open wouldn't count as such - if indeed she did actually lose any jewellery at all.
If she really has been a victim of theft, I suppose it's possible to understand why she would be looking at anyone who was around about the time she noticed the items missing. I suppose it's also natural that she would look at any irregular visitors rather than invited guests/relatives.  If she really believed you had done the deed, I believe she would have already reported this to the police.  My hunch is that she suspects a friend/relative so has held back as she is unsure.
Of course, this assumes that a theft has taken place at all.  Maybe she is trying to scam.  Maybe she has alzheimers.  Maybe she is mentally ill.

Really unsure what to do now.

have you got a criminal record? if not go to the police . if you have i think its best left alone ,they wont belive you.

None at all, apart from an old drink driving which does not count.

You might be surprised how long the police can hold a grudge.

Will leave it till tomorrow, see what the general opinion is.

I would write a letter to her saying that you were shocked at her accusation and that it is utterly untrue. I would also say that you are contacting the police and that if you don't get an immediate retraction that you will be taking legal advice regarding an accusation of slander.

She may be a nutter/crank but it's not worth taking the risk - in my opinion!

What all of them So if she does go to the police and says she suspects Jonathan, he protests his innocence, then they are not going to believe him anyway  :.

Jonathan, go to the police and make a statement. The police officer may appear put out by it and it maybe be pointless but it`s your reputation that you are talking about it.
Don`t let them fob you off.

Ps. go in to the station and don`t be tempted to just give them a ring  .   
Sorry, I couldn`t help myself  .

Is this property in a clutch of properties where you clean within a tight-nit community?

If not, I wouldn't worry about slander, nor incurring expensive fees for solicitors letters, which are pretty pointless anyway, IMO.  I've had a few myself in the past (nothing to do with work), and they just made me smile; a solicitor can't do anything; they just understand the law (or they should).

Reporting it to the police could be a good idea, if only to see what they have to say.  

I fell out with a lass over a broken wishing well and she threatened to 'lose me customers', but I lost none.  All her neighbours disliked the woman because she is mad as a fruit cake and agreed with me that what I did to recompense the lady was more than fair.

In fact I was going to buckle to her demands (it's awkward when you're not 100% sure you're in the right), and her immediate neighbour told me not to be stupid; that was good enough for me.

I personally wouldn't worry.

Put a brick through her window, that'll teach her

 

[Crystal-clear]

This is just her way of Cancelling nothing will happen, but if she does bad mouth you can take her to the cleaners.


Get in touch with a solicitor i would make her aware of what you are ready to do to protect yourself but as i say i know for a fact this is her way of cancelling

i might be wrong about this being the reason to cancel but I bet she was a bad payer or a late payer?

Then drive down the police station p1ssed and tell them it wasn't you.

[Tom White]

Or leave a half filled bottle of petrol on her doorstep, with a bit of rag hanging out of it.

Then phone her the following morning, and in a really amicable voice, ask her if she still thought that you stole those rings!

If you have other customers as neighbours, you might mention it when your talking with them. After all if you had anything to hide you wouldn't have raised the matter.
Obviously not all of them, just the ones your on friendly terms with.
You could enquire casually about the accusers mental state, they are bound to ask why, and then you could relate your story.
That would go a long way towards preserving your reputation.
