A former co-worker put their house on the market and sent a mass e-mail with a link to the listing--I was one of the recipients.
I looked through the photos and saw several high value items which I know belonged to the company we both used to work for, that this person didn't have permission to take, and specifically one item that had been written out of inventory as a loss when it came up missing. This is not an item you can go into any store to buy and not an item the average consumer has in thier home. Probably $20K or more in stuff. I'm not talking about a coffee mug, pens, or a calculator. I'm talking electronics and such.
Neither of us work there anymore, but it sure made me look at the former coworker differently. The weirdest part is that this guy was always trying to uncover employee theft--now I know why, to throw the track off himself.

When I was a waitress at TGI Fridays and would go to other employees houses, their entire kitchen was always decked out in TGI Fridays dishes, forks, knives, glasses, steaks in the freezer and even the fake desserts you see out in the foyer. I never steal anything from employers so I was always just flabbergasted. The biggest thief was the Head Waitress.

You COULD forward the Email to other people that you worked with and let them notice it on their own...
I have heard many times that the guy to go to for the "items that fell off the truck" was the head of loss prevention.
Isn't that the truth.
Our regional Loss Prevention guy for a company I used to work with (who, incidentally was the one who fired me for theft, but never actually told me what I stole, or even if I did anything wrong...but since I didn't confess he fired me?) ended up getting caught embezzeling a lot of money and running a fairly elaborate shipping scheme which let him steal all kinds of stuff. I'm sure I was just a scape goat for him.

The company was sold and I'm not sure the new owners would really care, as it doesn't affect them. If I was still working there under the original owners, I think I'd be just as guilty for not saying something.
It strikes me these folks aren't too bright. Check out the address list on that email. I wonder who else was on the list? Maybe the people who own the stolen stuff?
