    Default Re: Caught Stealing from the Cash Register at Work

    agree that the employer wouldn't immediately call the police, but would probably investigate and honestly some even keep the thief employed.

    the answer is to stop stealing from others, then you wouldn't have to worry about the negative consequences.

    Honor student? With that run-on sentence?

    Well, the stores and police have time on their side and plenty of time to decide how they want to deal with it. I'd expect to certainly hear from Walmart, though, especially since it was $600 worth of...Pokemon cards? You chucked your perfect record for Pokemon cards?! I guess we all have our price...I just didn't think it would be Pokemon cards with a retail value of less than four figures. I guess you really wanted to be a hundredaire. It's like a millionaire but with hundreds, not millions. I'm over-explaining because you are an honor student at a school that allows your to write as you did in your initial post.

    If they had it on video you probably would have been arrested on the spot instead of being asked to write a confession.
    The problem with video is that it is often unclear what has happened, and cash denominations are often not entirely clear. Video can be subject to interpretation. A written and signed confession, on the other hand, is pretty daming and places the video into context. I've been in the unfortunate position more than a few times of telling a reporting business that no arrest could be made at the time of the call since the video they relied upon was insufficient, and there was not (yet) sufficient evidence to support the allegation. Usually such a case could be made, but relying too heavily on video is sloppy and far too often unreliable.

    When I have investigated a report of internal theft, it usually was at the conclusion of the internal investigation. Sometimes that same day, other times, days or weeks later.

    They have a written confession, so it would be possible for them to charge you. The loss prevention officer said that you were "most likely" not going to be charged, but that's not the final word. They have until the statue of limitations to charge you. Given the possibility of being arrested for this, it would be wise to begin looking into lawyers in your area in case anything does come of this which it very well might. Also, if you have stolen from them previously, it may come out during their internal investigation and lead to charges for these incidents as well.
