Caught in 404p

By bgierczak2 - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States - San Francisco

Today, my wallet was stolen from my purse at work. When I asked my boss to pull the security tape so we could identify the thief, he said, "I don't think I want to know who it is." FML

Tell him to leave the room when viewing the tape and if it involves the workplace, ask that he co-operates Hope you find your wallet and solve the case

then call the police and report it directly. let them know that your boss did not want to deal with the tape.

Yeah, it's definitely him. I hope you get your wallet back, OP. If he refuses to play the tape can you get the cops involved?

Simple solution, report it to the police. I assume the police have the right to seize CCTV in the US like they do here.

@45 They do, but some states may require a warrant.

I would get both the cops and HR involved in that. Good luck, and please make a follow-up!

In Australia if you lodge the theft with police, any company/person with footage legally has to hand it over upon police request, maybe contact the police and see if the U.S. Has something similar

Oh dear. I do not envy such a work situation D: I hope everything works out as well as it possibly can, OP! Best of luck!

Call the police and file a report. If there is someone above your boss, let them know he refused to help. The police can make him show the footage.

Well, then he leaves while you watch the tape.

Because your boss stole it, obviously.
