I Caught An Employee Stealing. What Happened Next Was Shocking!!
I had just hired a new guy 3 days ago to work the midnight shift. I got a call at 2:00 in the morning from my night shift girl saying that the new guy had to leave because he was sick and shit his pants. He had told her he would be right back after changing into different clothes, but she said he never came back.

Shortly after I showed up at the store, the new guy showed up. He seemed surprised and nervous to see me. He said he was still sick and left again.

Then, this morning, when I was counting the money I discovered that there was money missing. I looked at the cameras and watched him take the money. Then I watched on the cameras as a cop came into the store. Immediately after the cop left, Daniel left. I immediately noticed in the video that Daniel had a different pair of pants on when he came back.

I called him and told him that money was missing. He immediately said he was sorry and asked me if I was going to call the police. I said since it was only $40.00 I would not prosecute, if he returned to the store and paid the money back. I also informed him that it was on video and cameras don't lie. He then asked me, "IF I RETURN THE MONEY, CAN I HAVE MY JOB BACK"? I said no, you were caught stealing.

In all the years I've worked in retail, I have never had anyone confess to stealing, much less admit it before I even told them that they were a suspect and I them it on video.

I guess when he saw the cop, he shit his pants.

remember the michael keaton movie - clean & sober? he embezzled, nutted up months later w/a promise to repay, and got pissed when they terminated him.
political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

It is customary in many countries to steal $40 after shitting your pants. I do have to commend your gift for spotting good character tough OP, hiring someone like him, he must have charmed the pants off of you before stealing them to shit in.

I hear you OP, it is always disheartneng when an employee steals.

I remember watching my assistant manager steal while doing deposits and when I called her into my office all I had to do was pull out the form and then asked her if I needed to explain why she was being written up and terminated..she said no.

I have employees.

And that means I've had them steal from me. But yours is different than any I've ever encountered:

A) Yes, he stole $40....
B) But, he clearly is not used to being a thief... otherwise, the cop's arrival would not have fazed him in the least.
C) In fact, he was sooo unhinged that he crapped his pants and had to go home. This most certainly proves he is not a polished thief.
D) He readily admitted to his transgression.

Others will disagree, but IMHO you should re-consider firing him.

My guess, based on his reaction to committing the crime, is that he ain't about to steal again. If he does, what's next? Crapped pants and puke??? Now that he has tried thievery he knows it isn't for him.

Shame, humiliation, degridation, guilt... it is all there.

Anyway - just something to consider.

I checked his references, did a background check and then interviewed him. During the interview he did astoundingly well. The girls on the night shift both thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. After I caught him stealing, his demeanor took a strange turn.

You don't own a store at Niagara Falls do you?
Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support!

Temptations are growing stronger.
Humans can rarely resist temptation.
The Spirit gave him a true wake up call when the cop walked in straight afterwards - no doubt it was the spiritual aspect that caused his bowels to loosen.
He is stubborn though - asking for his job back - wow, just wow.

I work in construction and recently had to fire an employee who was supposed to be in charge, but only dropped off his guys to work and left the job site for the day. A few days later, the guy came to my shop while I was away and stole some things. Well, I had a hidden camera activated by motion, and when I called him and confronted him with my evidence, he went into total denial. I told him I had pix and that if he returned my stuff, I wouldn't press charges.

I gave the idiot a chance and he still wouldn't fess up or make amends. Not even an apology. So, I was forced to make a formal police report and press charges.

He wasn't an illegal alien, by chance, was he?
