Finally, I have something worth writing about. Although I could have updated you on the Diamond Ring thief earlier, the amount of paperwork that generated didn't really give me incentive to come home and write even more about it...no offense. But now I have a few things to bring you all up to speed on...
First, the suspect in the diamond ring caper was off for a week. During this time, it was disccovered we were missing two rings instead of one. Her taking an entire week off, however, gave me time to investigate a little further. To make a long story short, myself and the district manager reviewed the video, then went out and examined the "crime scene," the jewelry counter. Unfortunately, I had assumed the staff had thoroughly searched the area for any evidence fo the ring. Silly jme, it took us just a few minutes to locate the price tags under a counter that belonged to both rings. Obviously they had been ripped off and tossed aside. This convinced us of what we suspected and we decided not to wait for her to come backto work. The DM and I called her at home, and on speakerphone interviewed her about the missing rings. She agreed to meet us, and during that meeting, she admitted to stealing both rings, and then selling them for 80.00 to help pay medical bills. They were worth $2,000.00, but she got $80.00 for them. As a result, she was fired and prosecuted. Case closed.
I now jump ahead to Memorial Day weekend. I am sentenced to working the entire weekend since it is a busy retail time....two grabs so far.
Stay tuned.

Why do I feel sorry for the girl?
ReplyDeleteI'm with Mark...but not worth losing a steady paycheck. Can't wait to hear about your exciting weekend.
ReplyDeleteWell I am glad you caught the thief but it is a sad story. It is really a shame she felt she had to steal to pay her bills. She must have been under a lot of pressure. I guess with all thefts, they can always be a sad story?
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing me up to speed.
