It happens that in a tried and tested team things and money begin to disappear. That is, a thief has appeared! Everyone starts to squint at each other, discuss this topic among trusted persons. Verdicts are rarely issued, with rarely any basis. Relationships go bad. The team is breaking up. How to identify a thief?
Instruction manual
1
Analyze all situations, write down the dates, times and circumstances of the possible loss of all. Establish the nature of theft: how often, how much or how much is lost. Outline the circle of suspects. Who had the opportunity to commit these thefts.
2
Hire a specialist. It can be the police (if the cost of things and the amount of missing money is significant), it can be a specialist-private trader - a private detective. You can hire specialists who will test your team on a lie detector and identify a thief.
3
Having outlined the circle of suspects, observe. Unfortunately, an effective measure is only red-handed capture. Therefore, analyze, observe. If possible, install surveillance cameras.
4
Catch the thief "on live bait". Where they put things, bags, install a hidden camera that only you know about. Spread the rumor that you have a considerable amount of money in your bag if the thefts were serious before. If the thefts were insignificant, then, most likely, a kleptomaniac acts. Then you need to do otherwise.
5
Set psychological portraits of all the individuals you suspect. Call your previous place of work or try another way to learn more about these people. Perhaps where they have been or worked before, thefts also happen or have happened.
6
Look at the fingers of your team members (if you limit the circle of suspects to this circle). Palmists say that the ability to steal is indicated by a very large fingernail. The nail is of such a size that it “encircles” the thumb, as it were, occupying almost the entire upper phalanx. But do not rush to conclusions! Form your opinion only on the basis of all the steps taken. Only in this way you will get the most complete and clear picture. The findings of palmistry are not evidence.
Useful advice
Sometimes, the announcement of inviting a private detective, contacting the police or checking employees on a lie detector can be effective - the thief himself leaves. But you should not count on it! Do not delay with the measures taken - connivance only exacerbates the situation. Good workers will begin to quit simply because it will be unbearable for them to work under conditions of total suspicion. But do not slip up to lynching on the basis of suspicion and indirect evidence. A mistake in this case can be very expensive.
