Tell him you don't want to, but you will if he doesn't stop.

I think you just answered your own question. I retired from a company (HUGE company) that had security personnel and cameras EVERYWHERE and, if you were caught, they fired you IMMEDIATELY. When your supervisor is ignoring theft, what are you going to do? If you still feel it is on you to report this - understand this…usually, this crap will blow back on the person reporting it. Be careful. Apparently the owner is not concerned with the loss - or he would be more "security" minded. |
Easy for me to say, not being in the situation, but I'd report him. It sucks, but he made the poor decision to steal, so he's demonstrated that he doesn't the job that badly.

I would probably go with the "I think you should be monitoring your inventory better" route with the owner. If you know him personally and like him, there is no reason you shouldn't be able to bring it up in a conversion. Your boss doesn't seem to give a shit so you have no way of knowing you wont be swept out the door with the rest of the mice when the owner eventually finds out anyways.
I know if I was the owner, I'd probably end up canning all three of your asses. He stole, you knew about it without reporting it, and your boss isn't doing the business any good by not keeping track of product in a way that at least prevents theft. You very well could have already put yourself in a "no win" situation by hiding behind the highschool "snitches get stitches" bullshit. Good luck man, I'd probably start looking for another job just in case the shit flows down hill. |
Here is a potential outcome.
You say nothing, during inventory the bosses figure out things are walking out, narrow it down to the morning shift as the most likely and fire both of you to be sure, assuming you're in on it too. Letting them know something is up might make them trust you more and put you in line to move up, and better provide for YOUR family. |
I'd give him one last ultimatum and say you either stop completely right now, or next time I even suspect that you have taken something I'm going to report it.
His nickel and diming the place adds up and I don't know what business it is, but eventually that can sink a store, not to mention how would you feel if due to budget costs they had to trim employees and they let you go and kept him? |

We aren't talking about trying to get a conviction on the employee who had knowledge. If I have an employee who knows someone has been stealing from the company and ignores it, yea I can fire them too for lack of reporting it. You are obligated as an employee to report anything that you know is a detriment to the company. At least at any company thats worth a shit. The cost of the theft to the company could determine the course of action for the employee that was aware, but there would be accountability depending on severity including possible termination. Would the knowledgeable employee be criminally responsible? No. And the person stealing is guilty of a crime. In fact you dont have to steal to be criminally responsible. We have pressed charges against employees for purposefully damaging equipment but dropped charges when they agreed to pay for the damage, which also cost them their job. Almost every time someone gets busted for this type of behavior its because a responsible employee reports it. Furthermore our companies insurance company pays a $1000 reward to anyone reporting a person who ends up convicted of a crime. This has happened in the past but only once in 13 years. |
Never trust a thief. If he gets cornered I about guarantee he'd suggest YOU did it.
|
Without a doubt I would

This. If he gets caught and you have said nothing, he will implicate you and the boss/owner you like will fire you both as well he should. Come clean and stay employed or wait for the axe to fall and be looking for a job. |

Now, if I believed that this was a real story, I'd point out to MTG that he was an idiot for posting this on a message board, since that can be traced to him. At this point, were this a real situation, I'd advise of him 2 things: 1.) Turn the co-worker in, as you've gone too far not to. You'll have to hope the owner doesn't can your ass for waiting so long, but that's the corner you've painted yourself in. 2.) Keep your damn mouth shut in the future. |
