Yesterday my co-worker had her wallet taken from her desk.
I learned through this experience that teams of petty thieves target hospitals, they walk halls looking for open and vacant offices and snatch what they can. I suppose that is the risk of working in a public facility.
What was amazing is the damage they did in less than one hour. Security has the suspect leaving the building on video surveillance at 2:17pm. By 3:07pm when all credit cards were discontinued, the thief had racked up nearly $2,000 in purchases from Target and Best Buy.
They committed the felony of stealing credit cards in one county and went shopping in a neighboring county, which makes it hard to prosecute if apprehended. That leads me to believe these guys are knowledgeable about the system.
What a terrible way to end a work day.
Have you ever had something taken from you?
just Sheri, realizing vulnerabilities
