- STBAT25, on 06/20/2009, -3/+240Who the ***** would leave a kid in charge of that kind of cash.
- gvoakes, on 06/19/2009, -2/+193He only felt dumb when the cops asked him about giving away a bag of money?
- yocouchdigga, on 06/20/2009, -2/+188Things to buy:
1. Fedora
2. Gray Pinstripe Suit - nepidae, on 06/20/2009, -2/+163He is payed minimum wage to handle tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, I don't think he is the dumb one in this story.
- PhillyMJS, on 06/20/2009, -0/+129"Hey, wait a minute... that's not the wallet inspector!"
- mikemehak, on 06/20/2009, -1/+111Either the kid is really smart, and has split the money with his buddy who picked up the cash. Quite an ingenious plan and perhaps grounds for a short film.
Or the kid wasn't thinking, not familiar with procedure.
Either way, the money never belonged to the kind in the first place and he felt no strong responsibility towards it. Any company leaving someone like this in charge of that much money is silly. There should be proper procedure for most any scenario.
Sounds like the company is most at fault here. (or perhaps the company set it up as an insurance scam) who knows - kaosethema, on 06/20/2009, -1/+90someone who deserved to lose $26K
- taikyokuken, on 06/19/2009, -1/+88I don't get it. Don't they have the coworker's details?
- palmer, on 06/20/2009, -1/+61Forget the events; what about this ridiculous writing?
"...a one-year employee with a waterfall of brown curls -- answered the phone around 4 p.m. A ponytailed co-worker ..."

..................................., - basickly, on 06/20/2009, -0/+54Yeah I didn't understand that.
Was the pony-tailed co-worker not in on it? - uoitbug, on 06/20/2009, -0/+53the way the author writes sure as hell makes it seem like a glitz of fiction:
" one-year employee with a waterfall of brown curls -- answered the phone around 4 p.m. A ponytailed co-worker named Tammy Fleurelus " - JoeHague, on 06/20/2009, -2/+48$
- noncn4mst, on 06/20/2009, -2/+48That article was almost unreadable.. how many details do you really need?
"-- a one-year employee with a waterfall of brown curls"
"A ponytailed co-worker"
"a short man wearing a fedora and a gray pinstripe suit strolled into the store, shaking his umbrella. "
A DAPPER FELLOW?? Are you ***** kidding me? - spargett, on 06/20/2009, -2/+48In all reality, this kid was the perfect corporate employee. Just a little robot that does exactly what he says. And doesn't question the boss.
Unfortunately the wolves were out that day. - illspaz, on 06/20/2009, -0/+38hey EvilFerret, you got a fedora and pinstripe suit? i got a random number generator and a terrible plan, we should hook up
- rahsut, on 06/20/2009, -1/+39I love how he its written as if the cops did something horribly wrong by asking him that. I understand that the cops are not supposed to belittle the victim but still... he's a ***** retard
- sidebuster, on 06/20/2009, -1/+35Right, but the company probably thought it would be common knowledge not to just give money away. That was their mistake they are going to pay for.
- inactive, on 06/20/2009, -0/+31Blame anyone but the criminal. Only on Digg.
- elijahyossie, on 06/19/2009, -5/+37Until the policemen mentioned it, giving some random punter £26,000 seemed liked a good idea!
- Lionhart, on 06/20/2009, -3/+34DOLLARS. $ IS THE PROPER SIGN TO USE.
- spookyttws, on 06/20/2009, -3/+33"They were just so smart and slick"? They just called and told you to give a bag of money to them and you did. You're a moron.
Didn't anyone else working with him question his very suspicious actions? - haikuFU, on 06/20/2009, -0/+26No, the pervert has an obsession with hair.
- bigbadgoat, on 06/20/2009, -0/+25You do realize that there's many english-speaking nations out there with their own slang and whatnot, right?
- psolms, on 06/20/2009, -0/+22i thought maybe the £ sign was a dead giveaway...
- TexMexRex, on 06/20/2009, -0/+22The boss should not have hired a 17 year old to handle thousands in cash. The stupid one is the boss.
- SumoSniper, on 06/20/2009, -1/+21Well, he is, he's just not the only one.
- evilesttoast, on 06/20/2009, -1/+21I'm going to gut you like a Cornish game hen.
- Toshibi, on 06/20/2009, -1/+21There's only ONE thing to do in this situation. Call your manager and let them know that an employee is attempting to scam you. It's that simple. Also, if your manager is showing up to take out large amounts of cash, you might want to find some place else to work, because you might get caught up in embezzlement charges.
- LtAction, on 06/20/2009, -0/+18The writer was likely hired on the merits of how hot she is.
Happens all the time. - JoeHague, on 06/20/2009, -1/+19$
- rnawky, on 06/20/2009, -1/+19I was 18 when I worked in a cash office at a store. We usually had around $30,000 in the safe.
You just can't be retarded. - Lewie, on 06/20/2009, -0/+17What do you have against Dapper Fellows?
*This Dapper Fellow readjusts his fedora, glaces back at Noncn4mst with a grimace, and in one motion heads out the door while opening his umbrella just in time to shield himself from the pelting rain.* - rahsut, on 06/20/2009, -2/+19There have to be rules posted?! wtf? Is it not obvious that you shouldn't give someone you've never seen before $26000 without having direct confirmation from your boss? How incompetent can you be?
- Oatlord, on 06/20/2009, -0/+16I would imagine this could happen to most anyone. People don't question authority, especially those with no experience dealing with these kind of situations.
- nepidae, on 06/20/2009, -1/+16The bank never gives money away, however they do hand over money hundreds of times a day.
- BlaiseWilson, on 06/20/2009, -0/+15I was 17 when the grocery store I worked at put me in the cash office. We had anywhere from 5 to 30 thousand in the safe.
"You just can't be retarded" should be a rule for just about everything. Except for being retarded, of course. - linagee, on 06/20/2009, -0/+1526,000 pounds is like 13 tons, right?
- haikuFU, on 06/20/2009, -1/+15I do social engineering tests for companies. You wouldn't believe what people hand over to you.
- barryiggins, on 06/20/2009, -0/+13heeyyyy.... are you like a slick crook from one of those movies? Don't you try and outsmart me!!
aw hell naw. I ain't falling for that ***** again
SECURITY!!!! - Mercedes383, on 06/20/2009, -0/+13Punter is slang for a customer.
- DLun203, on 06/20/2009, -0/+13FTA: Adds Rodriguez: "They were so smart and slick... It's like one of those movies."
Actually, it was the most half-baked plan ever. I have never seen a heist movie with such a terrible plan. - TECHNEWSGUY, on 06/20/2009, -0/+11Who the hell leaves a kid in a business alone with direct access to $26K ????
- andrewlotta, on 06/20/2009, -0/+11I'm confused.
...why would an average employee have access to a god damn vault? - JoeHague, on 06/20/2009, -0/+10Does anyone include you? Because your mother just told me that she's going to send someone over for all her jewelry and her car keys. He looks exactly like the guy in my profile picture so you'll know when he gets there/
- BradReason, on 06/20/2009, -5/+15the cops didnt make you feel dumb.. you made you feel dumb... cause you're a stupid idiot
- inactive, on 06/20/2009, -0/+10"...and the man had hooks for hands!"
- seanstuart, on 06/20/2009, -0/+10Yep. Maybe she wasn't actually a co-worker and just pretending to be. Anyway, total failure by whoever wrote that article.
- Sulla72, on 06/20/2009, -0/+10..."wearing a fedora and a gray pinstripe suit strolled into the store, shaking his umbrella." Gotta love his style! This cat sounds old school hehe. Wonder if he had a Tommy Gun in the getaway car...;p
- Resch17, on 06/20/2009, -1/+11You're the guy who gave away the money, aren't you?
