I have been contacted by a clock repairer this morning and he said Dad left a clock with him for repair 8 months ago.
At the time I would have said he would have just about capable of taking the clock to the shop.
The problem is I do not recognise it.
I have looked at the paperwork and my father's details are on it but it is the writing of the clock repairer.
The bill is for £30 and a friend who knows about clocks thinks the value of the clock is £150 to £200. She happened to be available to come and look. The repairer is of a similar opinion.
I lived with my parents and thought I knew their property well.
I am not bothered about the £30 but I am a little worried if matters went that far I could be convicted of theft if I keep the clock.
I find it a little strange the clock repairer took 8 months to make contact as the correct telephone number is on the paperwork.
I asked the repairer for a description of the person who asked for the repair to be done but he can only remember he was elderly and appeared to be slightly confused but he said his answers made sense when he repeated his questions or asked them in a slightly different way.
Any advice?.
