I Caught A Thief Today, Were You Able To Do It As Well Before?

I call her number and heard it ringing. The prospected suspect got panic and shout us and tell us we should have to go back to work. - bwahahahaha What a looser, can't imagine a guy doing an excuse like that! Is he one of the employees? that's a shame really.. You're the hero for sure and i bet from now on NO ONE from that office will ever talk or even trust him with their belongings. it's really sad that it's happening even in your office, CALL CENTER office that is. it's really awful.. he'll be punished for sure, damn right he should be!

rberon, first I am happy that you caught the thief. But at the same time I am saddened by the thought that the culprit is someone who knows the victim. I mean I would not let someone hold my phone unless I trust him enough not to read my messages or browse through my phone. So I am unhappy that this guy would take advantage of stealing a co-workers phone, no matter if he is in a tight financial situation. I also know that you work in a call center and I have worked in four different call centers, but so far I only know of one where stealing was kinda rampant and it happens all the time in the locker room which is separate from the main part of the office. Guards tell us that it can only be co-workers who can steal from these lockers and those that we know personally because they would know the combination of the locks or have an extra key to the lock. The precautionary measure that I did at that call center was I never left my phone in my locker, I left it at the guard instead. As for money, I would have a small wallet that I could slip in the pocket of my jacket. In this way even if thieves would look inside my locker, there would be nothing to steal.

That was very heroic of you, really. I can't imagine that this guy would resort to stealing a senior colleague's cellphone. The lady definitely trusted him to ask him to hold her cellphone while she went to the restroom. I hope he really learned his lesson. Luckily you were there to save the day.. I've never encountered such a thing, but I've witnessed a gang fight before from afar, and I decided to call the police. But as I was about to, a few people were already saying they had called and I felt glad that there were others willing to be frontal about it and report such things.

WTG, rberon1985, I haven't had that experience, but I do commend you for a job well done. The theif, couldn't deny it, because you proved he had the phone and it was locked up in his locker. Look like the thief would have thought to turn the phone off before he placed it in his locker, but the evilness in his heart didn't prepare him for the goodness of the Holy Spirit. Have a BLESSED day.

job well done rberon, wonderful feeling if we're able to help others especially officemates. Great for you doing effort to check whereabout of the lost cell. Hurray for your goodness...

Hey rberon..You are great...I think that was a wonderful thing for you to do. I do hope that they will do something to him. Maybe you will be noticed for your actions. I personally have had a similar action take place several years back. I was with a small company and they had a guy who was not really working but turning hours that he had. I found this out and reported to the boss. They started investigated him and sure enough he was sitting in the park for hours but showed that he had worked. I got a bonus out of this..Good deals are always rewarding..

I hope they are able to do something about it and glad you thought of it. If they don't do anything, I would imagine it will be hard for him to face all of you.

I did. well not myself. I went to someone who can help and she helped me catch it. I was a cashier and was new at the time. A senior staff was checking my report and counting the money herself. I was in between chats so I didn't really pay attention what she did. So she took a piece of bank note and said that my report didn't match I had to make up for the loss. I couldn't sleep because I needed the money that's why I worked, and now I had to pay? So I went to this lady that has let's say specific ability. She gave me some things to put on my cashier area and then the staff was sick or something. I don't remember what happened but something happened that unfolded the mystery. I lost respect for her, but the company decided to keep her because she was a fast worker and she worked there for a long time. It was stressful to work there knowing that I couldn't trust the person that was checking my own statement. So it didn't work out. I quit afer 5 months, no regrets, only relief.

Wow, what a hero! I like what you did. I've never had experience like you do, but if I were you, I would definitely do the same thing. Stealing colleague's mobile phone is something shameless, and mainly suspect's colleague is old enough. It seems the suspect used victim's deficiency. What's the point by stealing your mate's mobile phone? You can buy one with your money, though. What did the suspect do after you reported the case ? Just hopping there's nothing big between you and the suspect.

I haven't caught any thieves but i wrote a book report about Ali Baba and the forty thieves late this afternoon. I typed it and printed it out for my nephew. My aunt and uncle was asking for a favor to type it from them since their child is just grade 3 and none of them knows how to use the computer. Anyway, back to your story. I am glad that you have caught the culprit. I bet your office mate will hide his face forever. What a horrible thing to do with an old lady. shame on him and hail rberon.

I'm glad you were able to catch the culprit.Honesty and hard work always pay.I've never done something like this though i would've loved to have done it.But i think it was naive on the lady's part to hand over her mobile to a person whose antecedents she was unaware of.

You are indeed a very kind person, If I am in the situation like you I will do the same because I know that it i hard to loose a thing that is very important to you.

i used to work in a department store that people like to regularly rob so i've catched quite a few in my days. i did some security there too so i'm proud of myself. I've even done some chasing and tackling

I experienced almost the same story as yours. I caught a thief who was attempting to get inside our home last year. I was really horrified when he was attempting to open the door of our house. Fortunately, he made a noise that woke me up. I lighted up the lights outside and when he felt that somebody inside noticed him, he hurriedly ran away. Thanks God, he left.

How come he didn't turned off the cell.. any fool will know that the person who has lost his cell will call its number to see whether its stolen or he misplaced it, and the first thing any one do after stealing a mobile phone is to turn it off. I had once found stoled mobile of a friend but for sure not by ringing, but by searching the person i suspected.. as the person stolen it, was not dumb and had switched it off right away and found in his socks while searching...lol

i think the suspected guy is quite absurd to leave the stolen cellphone in his own locker while he knows that someone is looking for it. is it really him who stole the cell,i wonder about it.

I never meet such thing,but unfortunately i lost my handbag in a shop and then i went back to find it,it was missing,i couldn't believe it ,everything in my handbag,at that time,i hope someone who picked it up could return it to me,but now i know it's impossible.
