Guy went to jail today

So we are working at the Park Meadows Mall. This guy working there knows the combo for getting in. We show up to work a couple days ago and discover our spools of wire are missing. The GC also notices some of his tools are gone. We go down to mall security and ask if we could see camera footage. Mall security says no we have to call police. So we do just that. Police go to mall security and review video footage. we are asked to go down and get shown footage of this guy walking onto the job at least 7 times carrying stuff in a bag. This guy has the nerve to come to work today, and keep working as if nothing happened. We secretly called police. They showed up and put idiot in cuffs. I hate a thief.

What?, an "accident" didn't befall him before the police were called?

It's been done before... [Peep]

Sometimes they fall down (repeatedly) on the way to the GC's trailer when caught.. [Awesom]

I've seen a few job site thieves fall up a flight of stairs while being escorted off of the property.

That's why I engrave all of my tools with my name. If someone wants to remove my engraved name it'll be obvious.

Buy some stamps and stamp them with your initials. Impact stamping affects the metal at the molecular level and can be resurfaced even after grinding off the initial layers of the stamp. The testing is easy and cheap for the crime lab to do, and the criminalists love to play with acid.[Coffee]

^^this, when it's stamped, it affects more than just the surface, Thieves grind off the stamp, even try engraving/painting over the top of it, and lab can still recover the original stamps, the 'grain' of the metal is changed pretty deep, depending on how hard you hammer the stamp...

P.S. Glad to hear you caught the thief, Sparky, hope you can recover some of the losses

That's nice about stamping, but the police won't even finger print your car when it gets stolen, when there are known HUGE car thieving rings around town. I seriously doubt the cops are going to spend the time to inspect the molecular structure of a wrench to tell you if it is yours or not. The police are next to worthless when it comes to stolen things.

I'm not saying that they should be better necessarily, but just know that depending on police to recover stolen goods is a pipe dream.

I gotta agree with this. While markings may deter some potential thieves it wont stop them all. When they pawn them off and say it was their dads or late friends tools I have to think the shop could care less.

I hired a scumbag electrician once. he was from the longmont area, and took anything that wasnt bolted down. The next company he worked for had the same experience. Glad to see that your scumbag got caught on video. Hope he goes away for a long time.[Beer]

Unfortunately, you are right. Property crime is a lower priority and the labs are too busy handling person to person crime analysis to handle etching on a stolen wrench. Some agencies have been swabbing for DNA on stolen vehicles, but those analysis's are put way down on the back burner and in most cases, the statute of limitations runs out before they are analyzed. Too much backlog of other crimes. Sad but true. Not enough lab techs, not enough equipment to run tests, not enough lab space to put nonexistent equipment for nonexistent lab techs to run analysis.

but plenty of money to facilitate the writing of tickets.

you mean that the head of "CSI Aurora" doesn't speed around in a Hummer wearing dorky shades solving crimes in 58 minutes with a team of witty, yet complicated and diverse lab technicians at his disposal?

Fucking christ... Next you'll tell me the FBI BAU doesn't REALLY find serial killers in 60 minutes.

I get "let off easy" from getting cited for having no proof of insurance all the time. Only because they won't be able to extort any money from me when I drop by the station with my proof the very next day.

I have been pulled over because the blazer "magically" went from 5-65 in 40 feet.
Gotten tickets for passenger side rock chips in the winshield that have been repaired months before.
Was even threatened with Jail because I Wouldn't take a field sobriety test and instead I had requested a breathalyzer or blood test. It a tad hard to walk a straight line or stand on one foot with a cast from your ankle up to your ass.

so yeah, if some of the PDs would pursue criminals as hard as the try to create criminals, we would live in a better world.

:D
