If you act like you belong, it’s not often you get questioned about your actions. This has been proven time and time again at many places with a lot of turnaround. This has especially worked well for a recent Walmart thief.
In Grapevine, Texas; at a Walmart, a man posed as an employee, wearing a vest and name tag, walked into a Walmart, grabbed four large televisions, and walked right back out with them.
One Walmart employee took notice and was suspicious, he wrote down the license plates of the vehicle that the thief was loading the televisions into, but it turned out that the plates were also stolen.
Apparently, the thief acted out the same crime successfully in Bedford a week earlier. What if the thief impersonated a CFO or a system administrator? Or an Armored Truck Driver?
Either confront the individual(s), grab a manager, or contact security. Train your workers to report crimes. It makes it better for everyone in the long run.
Reporting needs to be established and metrics developed.
