Hello,
I work for a macdonalds inside walmart and recently we had cops come in and search our store and they found DVD cases with the disk gone. Someone that worked there called and said they found stolen items. My uncle is the manager and he told me that they have camera footage of me and him taking dvd's inside the macdonalds but not out of walmart so my question is, Can walmart prosecute us if they didn't catch us going out the door with anything? I have taken DVDs in and paid for them after I got off work but I did not ever take anything out unpaid for. Someone else who is working there must have been taking things in but stealing them and leaving the box hidden in places nobody looked and now they are blaming us to get themselves out of trouble. They found about 23 DVDs. This happened 3 weeks ago and no cops have talked to me or my uncle about it but have talked to other employees asking them if they have seen us steal anything and they said no! I'm really worried about this and would appreciate any advice. How can they charge us with anyting if there is no witness or footage of us leaving the store with anything unpaid for? Thanks, tim
