What, you think debit cards are only used in the States?

*News flash for Mr Furgal* - Here in the frozen backwoods up north we have debit cards as well.

Well sure, that's how it used to be done here as well before they updated the security on our credit cards. Now we don't sign anything. The card is inserted into a reader, and we punch in our PIN, whether we're using a debit card or a credit card.

Depends if the culprit is an employee , which in all probability it is.
I would get one of the cheap flashcard microvideo recorders, and stick it in the locker. They can record up to 6 hours or more now. They even have ones that are sensitive to movement.

I sense a change coming. A prediction of future events. Let me see if I can pull it in.....hold on............I am getting something now--it's kinda fuzzy, but I think it says:

I have your solution...
Ever watch looney toons? Spring loaded fist?

Set it up before anyone sees. Then throughout the day mention your plans for buying things after work out of your "new" wallet.

Then watch for the angry guy with a shiner.

Its worth a try.

NOT if it is a 'wireless' version, which passes the video to your smartphone . OK, it would cost around $150...but you get it back, AND the
thief is caught too

They took the DEBIT card and ran it as credit. Now I gotta go get a hair cut, dressed decently and go to DMV and get a new DL.

No he cant force the company to do it, but its in THEIR interest to find a thief if there into security. The police will get a warrant to get the video for him to view. What legal issue would they have for asking for a test ? You simply ask everyone to take it or their fired anyway. The company did just that in my case. Theyre not compelled to take it. They can quit and walk away. When the thief fessed up, they let him either pay for everything hed stolen or theyd press charges and put him in jail.

Their security is obviously pretty piss poor since someone can walk in and break into lockers at leisure. Whatever the company does, pretty clear anyone who wants can walk out the door with any secrets they want.
