I hired a woman once to work in the retail store I was managing at the time. After lunch, I noticed one of my long time employees crying in the break room. She had lost her wallet and whoever took it had wiped out her bank account at the Walmart next door. I called the manager over there and he pulled up the video and low and behold it was the new lady over there buying up gift cards. We called the police and after verifying what happened, they asked me if I wanted them to handle it quietly or to make a scene. I chose make a scene and they went into the backroom handcuffed her, told her why she was being arrested in front of everyone and marched her out. Needless to say HR agreed it should be an immediate termination.
The worst part to me was that before the girl whose wallet it was checked her bank account and saw all the charges, this lady was “helping” her look for it in the store.
If the “handle quietly” option was chosen in a movie, they would have taken the thief out the back, laid down some bubble wrap, put the silencers on their glock service pistols…
I actually think that’s a little disgusting. The police are choosing Corporate Interests over simply following the evidence and uploading the Law, no matter who broke it, or where they were employed…

Why were you fired?
That’s an impressive trifecta.

Wait you can choose whether you want to make a scene? That’s awesome!
The Theater Kid that became a cop is so happy too!
Lo* and behold.

I got your back. 👍 Please take the emoji as a sign of this not being condescending.

I love that they asked you if you wanted a scene. I would have chose it too!

What??? The police were going to arrest this person regardless. They just asked if OP wanted attention drawn to them or not.
