Would you report coworker theft?

[MTG#10]

This guy Ive been working with for the last couple years has been robbing my company blind lately, and does it right in front of me. It started out as just a couple < $10 items here and there, but recently Ive been noticing him taking much higher priced ($20+) things out to his car almost every day. Ive told him before he better stop before he gets caught but he just laughs and says something like "Why are you gonna rat on me?"

This guy isn't a really close friend or anything, but I do open with him every morning and he has been out to my house for cookouts a few times...not for a couple years though.

Its really bothering me, I don't want to be a rat but at the same time this shit is wrong and while I cant stand my current boss I do like the owner and his family. Ive told this guy more than once not to do it in front of me but he doesn't listen.

Should I say something to the owner or live by the rule "snitches get stitches"? He would certainly get fired and he has a wife who cant work and three kids at home so that would bother me as much or more than his stealing. And even if I did say something I don't know how to go about it...I cant do it anonymously because I'm the only one there in the mornings with him so they would know it was from me.

In a tough spot here.

Coworker theft? Isn't that Kidnap?

I don't think he's smart enough to be an attention whore. He's got to be one of those face pickers.

I cannot abide a ****ing thief. Snitches vary in degrees of douchebaggery depending on their circumstances, but there's absolutely no worth to a goddamn thief.

If Im working my ass off to provide for my family, and some asshole decides he's just going to help himself to the goods right in front of my face repeatedly and think that there aren't going to be consequences for that, he's got another thing coming.

Dude obviously thinks you're a little bitch and aren't going to do shit about it. Otherwise, there's no way he would be so cavalier about stealing shit.

If you choose to stand by and do nothing while some scumbag takes money from the owner of the business, whom you claim you like, well then maybe you are a little bitch after all. This guy is stealing from who you claim to be a good person, while implying that you're too big of a pussy to do anything about it by doing it in front of your face.

......and youre wondering how to handle this?

I would take great pleasure in being the harbinger of this ****er's reckoning.

MTG needs to write a book titled "Learning Things the Hard Way".

MTG#10 likes attention. This might not even be real.

(But if it is, I vote with the people who said tell the owner).

MTG works with Midnight Vulture?

So, has this asshole been arrested yet?

I know he loves him some attention.

I mean, in a way we're all here for attention and validation of our thoughts and arguments; but this ****ing guy REALLY needs CP to figure out life stuff.

I've asked a couple of people on here through PM's about some important stuff, but that's only because I legitimately think of them as friends and/or knowledgeable in my request. You can bet my personal life/career/problems are going to stay as far away from this place as possible, outside of actually having some friends on here on Facebook.

But you gotta love the fact that we have questions and threads like this. It's what brings that special soap opera quality to CP.

Thief's are pretty low!

[Steron]

WELL? What's the update? Too many GD threads these days with no resolution. /Sigh

[beach tribe]

Arent you supposed to be in jail for raging on someone?

No sense in snitching before going to the booty house.

[BlackHelicopters]

We need answers. A resolution. Something.

LOL
Great thread idea...
