> On Wednesday evening (August 24), I entered my local gym - @VirginActiveUK.

> On arrival, the security barriers which are normally activated by members scanning their passes were not working.

> No one was ensuring that those entering the premises were genuine members.

> I stored my belongings in a locker and began my workout.

> Little did I know this gym session would end up costing me £5000+.

> Soon after I started, someone managed to break in, steal my rucksack containing my belongings (phone, bank card, keys) and reset my @santanderuk online, phone, mobile and Apple Pay security details.

> They then went shopping...
