I know one gets it in all jobs but normally one has someone independant they can go to I didntIs it too late to take any action? A couple of my friends have said its unfortunate but let it go which is not really fair but I am in a dilemma -do I write to the bosses and say I was not a thief and it was all cajoled in my opinion

However some of the replies arent quite correct I did have a boss but he had his own staff who worked solely for him so there was no point in telling him as he would back his own staff and did.
I know I have to mvoe on but the person who said the stealing would continue is not correct becassue why would it xontinue msision ah d been accomplished-I ahd left the friend had got the job-so need to carry on taking petty things-the desired affect had been achieved.
Its so unfair I was in the firmm before they were-I am aged 58 there are no jobs in London for my age

 Please don't waste your time on this one, you will just be painted as crazy. When I was the HR Manager of a London company we had two receptionists and one woman was always moaning and left. She said she had felt pushed out and victimised. The other receptionists friend then replaced her. The orgional receptionist wrote to me airing her grievances and sad though it was no one was interested. All they were bothered about was that the reception area was manned.
This is a futile waste of your time and effort which should now be focussed into getting another job. Your friends are right, let it go. Have a look at the government websites and the courts websites as they are often more flexible employers.

 The truth will surface and your ex-boss would know it.
You can write a letter to him if you feel that it will give you the peace of mind. Whatever he does , that is his business.
If you feel strongly for it , then write him that letter.It does not cost you anything but who knows may get some results from it.

 Hi,
I think you'd look a bit silly writing to anyone at this point. You would have been best off to find out who thought you were taking petty items and confronting them about it in private. There's one thing of which you can rest assured, anything that was being stolen will continue to be nicked after you've left, so your employers will know it wasn't you anyway. In fact, if they'd believed it in the first place they would have spoken to you about it. Good luck. :)

Unless they did something that you can document there's not much you can do. If they didn't care enough about you when you worked for them, I don't think that they are going to care a lot to hear from you now- a letter isn't going to do anything except possibly help you work out some anger issues, then DO NOT SEND IT... write it, then burn it...
You need to let this go, try praying for these dolts each and every night, and pray that good things come their way- do this till you do not have any anger towards them- it's free, painless and will set you free.
