W.W.Y.D....?(Long Read)
For those of you who dont know, i work at a Chevy Dealership. I work with 3 other guys. We're in and out of cars almost all day. Mostly customer cars, some of them are courtesy cars.
You see change, money, pens, stereos, CDs, etc in customer cars. We're taught to watch for expensive/important-looking items and make note of them. Although we have a "Not liable" sign up, it doesnt mean we can go through and steal ppl's shit. Well, here's the deal...
When we pick up a customers car and move it around, we're supposed to write the tag number down on a list, next to our name. Well, i got this truck. As soon as i get in, i notice an iPod, a RAZR, an LED flashlight and about $0.78 in change(3 quarters and a few pennies). I dont usually see the electronics, but i blew it off and went on.
I moved it into the bay, and had begun working on it when they called me to go pick up a City car. As i was leaving, one of the guys, Steve, asked where i was going, what i was gonna do with this truck and if "nothing", if he could move it.(He was trying to make a few extra $'s doing a mechanics car.) I said "Move it."
I get back, its moved. So i go get the keys for it and start to pull it in the bay again, when i notice that the quarters i previously noted, were gone. Now im all about free money, but not if it means losing my job. If you're gonna steal change, do it from a shit load, not from less than a $1. Anyway, i was pissed not only because the money was gone, but because that vehicle was under my name. If the owner said something about it, itd be on me.
Now this Steve guy has told me before that he was high on about 5 vicodin, he's asked me if i knew anybody that sold ANY kind of drugs, and he's always asking us if any of the cars need gas, and one time, after dropping off a bunch of scrap metal, he took off, in the shop truck, with the money and was gone for like 45 minutes. When he came back, and was asked for the money from the scrap, he pulled it from his wallet, not pocket.
Anyway, i told the other 2 guys and we'd been talking about it for a day or two, when the head boss calls all 4 of us in for a meeting.
Guess what he talked about??
"Customers complaining of missing money; glove boxes being rifled through, and one man claimed the GPS was missing from his golf bag."
Oh hell no!
Anyway, i know it was only some change, but me and the other guys are pretty sure Steve is up to no good. They're older black guys, like 40s/50s, so i guess "snitching" isnt their thing.
I dont wanna lose my job over this, and one of the other guys already told him that he needs to slow down and quit doing shit thats gonna get him, or us, in trouble.
I wanna say something.....but i hate drama.
Opinions??
