F*cking Theives

Sorry to hear this man, same thing happened to me. Hate to say it, but don't expect the police to give a flying shit about it, they don't care. "We don't have the resources" is all they'd do for me, and I know exactly who did it. "Can you prove it? Do you have video? Sorry, we can't help you".

It's dependent upon which agency you are dealing with. Some believe they are too busy for that type of crime. Some do not. My former Metro area agency wasn't too busy and we took that type of crime seriously and tracked down the videos, tracked down suspects and made arrests. A L.E. buddy of mine from that agency was at the Colorado Springs zoo and a suspect stole his wife's wallet out of her purse on the child stroller and went on a spending spree. Colorado Springs PD was too busy to assist and told them to file a desk report, report it to their credit cards and the credit card companies would take care of it, reimburse, etc. While that may be eventually true, he wanted retribution and someone arrested!

From the sounds of it, if you get this solved Opie, there could be several arrests and several job openings to post on the board!

I wouldn't want anyone from here to work for the owner of that company...believe me I would be going you guys a favor.

[TFOGGER]

If the owner condones a "hostile work environment", and you can prove it using the evidence in this case, maybe she should sue him?

I hope you catch the thief and help put him/her in a sh!tty prison somewhere.

[spyder]

If he really protects illegals, he is in a different playing field and will be of no use to you. I hope the catch whoever took your guys things and cut off their dominate hand... But, they won't. They might get a slap on the hand in reality...

Heck, he might've been the guy filling up his gas tanks with one of them. What kind of business is this? I'm guessing it isn't a restaurant or a construction site.

It's construction but my wife is in the office.

My incident happened in Denver, so the DPD own the case. I talked to the detective assigned to it, and he just acted annoyed, wouldn't even discuss it. The bank covered my losses immediately, no money lost on my part, so his take was it was between the DPD and US Bank now, if the bank wanted to pursue it, which of course they didn't.

I filed a complaint with some "overseer" or whatever it's called with the Mayor's office, and I then got a call from some supervisor with the DPD. He was nice and sympathetic, etc., but basically explained they don't have the money or manpower to chase little things like this, they can't keep up with the major ones.

Really chaps my ass too, the dick sits right on the other side of the cubicle wall from me, and overheard me ordering some parts on the phone with my CC. This guy's main interests in life is chasing pussy, and keeping his money in his pocket. He feels sex is "an equal exchange of services", and that it shouldn't cost him any money to get laid. "She's getting as good or better than what he's getting". He also likes to drink wine.

The attempted charges were with....
wine.com for a large wine order,
flowers.com for a large flower order,
moretolove.com which is a dating service to find beefy women (which he prefers, they're easy to bag),
skype.com to set up video conferencing accounts,
and cuddleworks.com which sells teddy bears and lingerie, gifts for women.

So I'm certain it was him. He also acted strange around me for months afterwards after the purchases were all shot down, like he was expecting trouble or impending doom, or a visit from the po-po.

The only people in the office when I bought my parts were me and him, and although the cube wall separates us visibly, we can hear each other fart. Overhearing and copying down my CC info wouldn't be hard. He also thinks I'm some kind of "rich old white guy" that should "help a brotha out" by showering him with "loans".

I contacted all the vendors, and they all refused to release anything to me without a request from the DPD on department letterhead, which of course the DPD just laughed at.

So, good luck to ya Opie!

brick thru their window should even things out.

Yup Rondog, I understand and feel ya completely.

Unfortunately, you suffered no loss as the bank "made you whole". The D.A.'s office would not consider you a victim anymore and the victim is now the bank, which didn't want to pursue any charges.

So, your co-worker gets off scot free because the bank doesn't want to pursue charges. They will just add it to the cost of doing business, charge all of us more for their services to cover that cost of doing business and the world continues to revolve. Kind of unfair, isn't it?

Then and now, I cannot get a bank to be a victim of a crime. I've only seen some limited success with banks wanting to be a victim and it generally revolved around large, unsecured loans or risky loans on investment property.

I've done a couple of mortgage fraud type cases and we've generally have to go after the suspect not for defrauding the bank, but for filing fraudulent papers, as the bank doesn't want to get involved and will suffer the loss. Go figure.
