Would you report coworker theft?

The product he's taking is miniscule when only taking a small amount, Ive even been told by my old supervisor to grab some when I needed it and not to worry about it. But this dude is taking it to a whole other level...taking case after case of the most expensive shit everyday. Sometimes so much he has to dolly it out to his car. In a way the company deserves it for being so stupid but its still not right.

I think the way I'm going to go about it is to tell the owner he needs to put a camera in the parking lot and have it recording in the morning. Hopefully that will be enough and he'll get the hint.

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.
