    It's a shame he didn't ring you en route to say he was nearly there, then you'd have his number.
    He did ring the night before but it came through as Private No, every other Sky person I've had used a mobile. It's possible they don't know, as someone else said, the Call Centre is outsourced, and the installing side is probably outsourced to a completely different Co.

      Tell the call-centre you've got Covid I bet they'd find out who it was.

      Are you certain nothing else is missing BTW?

        I think the best approach is something like this at Sky HQ

          And it felt like a real long-shot emailing the Sky CEO
          Worked for me when I emailed the CEO of BT Didn't reply personally, but only took about 1/2 hour before their assistant called me to help out. He then had to deal with the Indian call centre on my behalf ... even he found it painful but it saved me time

          Great service in the end, but really shouldn't need to do it to get something to happen.

            Could be CEO, Head of Ops etc .... definitely worth a try if you know (can guess) their email address.
            I think in most large consumer organisations, there is at least one person in a complaints team who manages complaints that have been sent to VIPs like Directors. In one that I worked in they typically got a quicker response than standard complaints.

              I got a call back from Sky. They have finally spoken to the engineer and he says he hasn't taken anything accidently or otherwise. I need to do a police report to take it further. I'm wondering why he would nick something that would get £20 tops with it's box and remote ( that we still have ). It doesn't make sense

                The same reason people nick low value items from supermarkets when they can clearly afford to buy them.

                Report him to the police.

                As I said if he's stupid enough to keep nicking stuff he will eventually end up in tulip.

                  I've finally worked out why the boxes have a value, they can be programmed to sell with illegal Sky, BT etc

                    Just to close off this thread !!!! Feeling very foolish. The bloke from Sky didn't nick anything, don't listen to your kids and don't be an idiot and jump to conclusions

                    Just ringing up to apologise.
