We had security cameras around the building and inside the building, we sold many things that people wanted to steal..oh dear!
One such night the security guard phoned home about 2 or 3am in the morning for one of us to go over and join him as we had been robbed once again.
Next day, I went through the recorded tape which went for 8 hours, yes, I know it sounds boring but I used to fast forward and mainly only looked at the tapes if we had had a robbery.
So this day I found the thieves x 2, continued to play the tape and just happened to look up at the security guard and lo and behold he was stealing too!! Yes, a security guard stole some chocolate frogs.
So what do you say about chocolate frogs, let the guard go and don't say anything, but then on the other hand it could have been diamond rings that cost more money - so the thing is I rang his boss and it went from there, he almost lost his job, he wasn't permitted to do security work anymore. The young men were taken to court, fined and that was that.
I wonder how they would feel if they saw the video below.....
The video goes for 59 seconds, is FLV and 9.15MB....watch carefully and you will see the 2 young males, and the security guard taking the frogs out of the big plastic frogs mouth....it's a little hard to see but you will see it. Also have cut a lot out of the video, but you get the idea.
That is always sad. G
ReplyDeleteIt is sad, but these people think it's their right to steal from others. M xoxox
DeleteOh yes, can you really trust anyone?
ReplyDeleteAh! We have to trust someone in our lives, but you see it time and time again dishonest people.
DeleteKind of sad when you can't even trust the security guard - although chocolate frogs (chocolate anything for that matter) are very tempting... :D
ReplyDeleteThat is the thing! The security guard, and you are right a few chocolate frog are tempting, however it's also stealing. :)
DeleteThe guard must have had a graving for chocolate frogs............lol silly man if he had lost his job over a couple of chocolate frogs he would have felt a right dill
ReplyDeletePerhaps he did have a craving for chocolate, but he could have said, I took a couple of frogs, he's the money, but he didn't and we would have given them to him then for free.
Deletestealing is stealing isn't it? it's surprising he didn't realize that there were security cameras although obviously not. i can just imagine you going through all those tapes. boring but necessary. hope you are well
ReplyDeleteYes, stealing is stealing and that's that!
DeleteAlways tapes go through and it was tiresome but had to be done, for we always caught someone of camera, so that makes you feel good :) to catch a thief.
Yes, we are fine thanks..
That must be so annoying. How come the security guard didn't catch/stop the thieves. Then he takes goods as well. He didn't deserve that job.
ReplyDeleteThe security alarm worked in such a way it let the security firm know immediately the premises was broken into. Oh yes, he had a cheek.
