Karim Allison of Ormesby said he was stunned when he got a letter from Victim Support offering him “emotional support and practical help” over a missing dustbin.
“I just can’t believe it to be honest. Who’d need victim support over a wheelie bin?” said the 47-year-old.
Karim mentioned his bin had disappeared to a neighbourhood beat officer a few months ago.
But he thought nothing more of it until he was sent the letter by Middlesbrough Victim Support this week.
Wondering whether the letter was a hoax, he checked with police who confirmed that the incident had been logged on the crime database.
Karim, who works at James Cook University Hospital, said he wasn’t that emotionally attached to his wheelie bin and has managed to get over the loss without counselling.
He now has a new dustbin.
