Employee Theft

bababouy · Oct 23, 2016

Our customer started noticing their cash drawer coming up short. They thought it was no big deal at first, then It started to be $100-$200 a day. They called us to go through their video to see if we could see where their money was going. This was the first cash transaction that watched. We were able to go back 1 1/2 months and watch this guy take cash just about every day. We came up with about 30 clips similar to this one. The customer called the sheriff's office and made a report. They have an ongoing case right now.

Too bad he's not one of the big bankers. Then he'd have to give back 20% of what he stole, and admit no wrongdoing. Oh the just-us form of justice.

What model camera is this?

This is a 2MP CVI from securitycameraking.com. CVIOB-EL2IRLZ2712-D2

It's crazy how they'll do this even when they know the camera's are there.

I owned a business once, where I installed cams after some items disappeared. The cams were in plain obvious view. Wasn't but about a week, and I see on playback an employee take an item, walk over to one camera, hold it up for the cam to see and then walk out the door with it. He was shocked when I fired him and the police wanted to "talk" to him.

Did I ever tell the story about the employee that was burning us for $250.000 a year?
Same thing...

A local store had a similar situation but they had no cameras up. Their accountant told them they had to figure out what was going on or they'd go under so they put in a hidden camera at the cash. They caught her immediately. She was spending most of her day taking cash or items. Unfortunately they were told they couldn't prosecute because they didn't put up a sign saying cctv was in use. They did get to fire her after they estimated she got 80 to a hundred grand worth. Cute friendly young thing. Hard to tell character by looking and talking to someone sometimes.

80 to 100 grand worth, and can't prosecute because she didn't know she was being watched?

I'm in the wrong business. I need to work in retail wherever this is.

I agree, in my area, she'd have gone to jail as soon as the cops saw the video.

Looks like a case where individual rights trump what IS right. The owner of this store wouldn't tell me who it was because they couldn't prosecute but I worked it out from another store where she worked, also stole from, and got fired from. I knew her from both stores. I'd call it a poorly written privacy law though, or possibly overly strong workplace protection provisions. When there's incontrovertible evidence of theft and it was gathered somewhere other than, say, the ladies' washroom, IMHO she had no reasonable expectation of privacy from the owner when out in the open in her place of employment. A hidden CCTV camera placed at the till should be treated no differently than the owner observing her from around the corner.

Large national corporations probably operate under a different set of constraints than smaller businesses.
Show your ass here and I'll put it up on the local news.
