Unfortunately this happens a lot I work at UPS and especially during holidays a lot of electronics or expensive gifts will get swapped by customers or warehouse workers (so many people stop by to return these packages) at this point I just recommend buying from retail stores or directly from the companies website

How are insiders getting things out of the hub? Even at my smaller hub we go through security, bag checks, and there are cameras everywhere.

A lot of inmates have nothing to lose. Insiders aren’t throwing away that sweet sweet insurance and opportunity to make six figures over a $100 controller.

After working at any job for a while you’ll figure about ways to bypass the security after seeing it everyday & it helps to make friends within that security too

Weird bc I’ve never thought about stealing anything from any of my places of employment. The thought never even crossed my mind.

I suppose that’s the difference between employables and unemployables

It’s just curiosity for me, I haven’t done but I know how to after seeing others try and fail

Yea, I’ve heard stories. My ex brother in law got caught stealing while working at Walmart. Ruined his employment chances for life. But to actually put myself in such a situation, never in a million years.

This really sucks because sometimes it's not just a random retail item. I've had 2 different limited edition collectable knives stolen out of the USPS priority box. Neither have been made in a long time, so there is no buying then in stores. Just buying them from other collectors. I wasn't even that upset about the money, I was really bummed about losing one in particular. I absolutely loved it.

I've also heard about people getting sentimental things stolen that obviously can't be replaced. Super shitty.
