Lowest of the low

[Andy Collins]

Unfortunately, due to the tough economic climate, it may be necessary to reduce staffing numbers in the next quarter if losses keep up at this rate. Accountability and profitability, if theyre costing you money....

In these times youd think you could rely and trust your staff? Im sad to say that weve got a theif in our company weve recently had a set of insulated poles and 2 saws go missing. The poles went over a weekend and im still not sure if they were left site. The saws were discovered to be gone on Friday a 361 was noticed missing then an ms 200 was also seen to be absent

 

HI TREEMON if thats the case there taking the p.ss LOL and you need to nip it in the bud mate hope you get it sorted out soon all the best jon

Thanks for your replies sometimes you really think your on your own , the main problem is proving it though weve managed to get it down to 2 suspects - feel a spy cam may be an option

Get your crew together, explain that times are hard and this matter can't just be forgotten ask that the kit gets returned one way or another - doesn't matter if the kit just reappears without knowing the offender. If this doesn't happen, put it in to the hands of the law and call the police in.

 

It is theft, doesn't matter that it is within a workplace, you need to at least get the insurance to pay up - a grands worth of kit is a grands worth of kit!!!

Well if someone leaves and becomes self employed you will know who it is/was!

Your suggestion is spot on. With all the stolen Kit I have seen posted it is double trouble when the missing items may be missing due to personnel.

Follow through, I hope you get to the bottom of this soon.

Explain to the rest of the staff a grand missing from your bottom line will effect them indirectly and any info will be gratefully received and held in confidence. Then when your sure seek and destroy.

Could you have a equipment checklist for each vehicle, responsibility of team leader to fill in daily and sign before going out and before leaving site, put a disclaimer on the bottom they have to sign saying any missing kit will be paid for by assignee.

 

If you know any good actors you could tell the boys they will be having an interview with an expert psychologist trained by Derren Brown who can spot deceit in body language, give the actor a list of questions to ask similar to a lie detector, the thief will be bricking it and stand out a mile from the honest boys

I had a member of staff nicking

1 large strimmer

hedge cutter

then he went self employed

needless to say I didn't give him any work though he begged for it.

Revenge is sweet

If they went self employed and the kit doesn't end up on eBay, or sold to someone else.
