Mr. X did it to himself. He ignored rule one for a thief, ie "Tell no one if you want to get away with it".

If he was calling as much attention to himself as he was it sounds to me like he had some problems with his actions as well, and was trying to clue people into it.

It's a done deal now, but personally OP if I'd gotten to talk to you before you told the man . I'd have advised you to cut the guy a break.

I'm not saying that you had to join in, but if someone is stealing from the company, and feels compelled to let you in on it s/he is a individual with some personal problems.

How about,

"Man that's not a good idea you're doing the wrong thing. I can't let you do it so just drop this whole idea, or I'm going to have to let someone know what you're doing."

Give people the chance to do the right thing, and they usually will.

Cheers

PS

And all these people who say "There's nothing worse than a thief". Are you serious?? I can think of a lot of worse things a person could be... how about judgemental?

Kangnam you crack me up!!

Being judgemental is fun! Corporal is dead right. I enjoyed it!

But, be fair people I think if you read the whole post you'll see exactly how I judge Mr.X's behaviour. I don't agree with the actions, but perhaps Mr.X is just in the middle of making a huge mistake.

Personally, in that scenario, I don't feel the need to do my utmost to ensure that he gets fired or arrested. And I'm not trying to have a go at the OP because he's the one person in this forum who was there, and s/he can judge the situation better than anyone here.

I don't know if X is stealing for his sick granny, or if it's been half an hour since his last rock of crack. Neither do you, that's all I was trying to say.

Oh and the tongue inserted in cheek much very with my judgemental crack. (I thought the winky thing would be the big hint?)

Cheers people...

Well I am back from vacation and Mr. X is gone. The fax machines here store a copy of faxes that have gone out, which are then archived. That, and some other stuff, was the straw that broke the camels back for X. I was called into a meeting by my team leader, the section chief, my sections director and the freaking VP of marketing and thanked personally for my honesty. I think I am going to be employee of the month! I am going to lunch with my team today- I wonder what they think about what happened. I guess I will know shortly.

I don�t regret what I did; it truly was my only option. I DO wonder what exactly happened to X but I am not foolish enough to ask. Oh well�

You did the right thing. I hope Guam was fun...I hope to go someday.
