Actually, the eye-witnesses that saw the white mini van also saw the people carrying things out to it, they just did not understand what was going on at the time. Only after the investigation started did the details come together. Before you say inside job, know the facts!
If you were a (dishonest) employee, and discovered such a large theft had just occurred, wouldn't you want to slip a handful of items into your own bag before anyone could inventory the loss? Not that I personally would ever do anything of the sort. Just consider THAT possibility when you are thinking "inside job".
Inside job for sure.
do stores not have camaras? im sure someone somewhere would have saw someone walk out with that much stuff in the middle of the day! check out the employees
inside job indeed
I don't think it was the quantity. Underwear just shouldn't cost that much.
350 pairs of panties from there is only about a one t-shirt worth of material...LOL!
It doesn't say that it happen all at the same time...think like a theif, if they had a small ring of people there could be more then one person lifting the items. Also, they could have made more then one trip into the store to get items. If 400 bras and 350 pairs of panties come up missing at once noticeable, however if only a handful are missing at a time not as noticeable. Why would someone think about someone carrying a big "bag", have you seen the popular purses. Those things look like diaper bags for goodness sakes. I think that this was just something that finally has happen to P-burg, when in fact it's taken place in big city stores for years.
This was not an inside job..this happens every year....it is a "group" who plans this.. the group is roving from town to town committing this crime..the employees do NOT know what day they will come in...they look like regular customers..distract employees with questions...line the bags with something that keeps the security alarm from going off..I guess they resell the items for drugs or who knows what..definetly not an inside job. I know someone who worked at both stores. Maybe companies need to beef up the security ..but don't blame the employees.
Security Cameras?
No wonder things are so expensive! Somebody has to make up for the thieves and it's other consumers!!
Come on people. Bras and panties. They don't take up that much room. Theft happens everywhere.
How can a person pull off such a heist of that magnitude in a mall? I'm not going to point fingers at the store employee's but, wow!
Ok, C'mon now, your going to sit here and tell me that someone lifted that much stuff from vickis at the SLOWEST part of the day??? No one noticed ??? you might just want to look at some employees who were intentionally not looking that way!!!! Seems like a good place to start to me!!!! There isnt cameras in a store that busy?? hmmmmm.....
How in the world do you get that many items out of the store at once?? Can we say INSIDE JOB!!
