A plumber in Brisbane, Australia, has been caught on camera allegedly rummaging through a woman’s drawers and taking a rolling pin to perform an unsanitary act with it in her bathroom.
The homeowner had hired the plumber to fix the bathroom’s toilet and shower after he was recommended by a friend.
He was seen appearing to go through the drawers in both her bedroom and kitchen before finding the rolling pin.
It is alleged he used it to fix an issue with the toilet before returning it to where he found it without cleaning it.
Hygiene concerns and theft allegations
The homeowner expressed her disgust over the lack of hygiene in the incident, saying that the lack of cleanliness could have made her “desperately ill”. She was also concerned that other people may have been subjected to similar behavior.
It is also alleged that a pair of earrings, that were in a drawer in her bedroom, went missing.
The matter was reported to the police, and the plumber has since been charged with entering a dwelling and committing an indictable offense.
The plumber has appeared in court, with his case adjourned until May 3.
Theft and sanitation issues aside, it is a breach of privacy for someone to go through another person’s drawers without their consent.
The homeowner’s privacy was invaded, and she is rightfully concerned about the potential violation of other people’s privacy.
The plumber’s actions were unacceptable and caused distress to the homeowner.
This incident highlights the importance of choosing reliable and trustworthy tradespeople to enter your home.
It is also a reminder to ensure you have adequate security measures in place, such as security cameras, to monitor who enters your home and what they do while they are there.
