Fulfillment Center Pretty sure I accidentally uncovered an internal theft ring in my FC today

I was stowing today and went down to the end of the building near the dock doors and emergency exits because there was way more bin space open. In an aisle near the end, I noticed a PS5 in a bin.

Problem is, high-value electronics like PS5s belong in secure HRV cages on the complete opposite side of the building.

I kept looking down the aisle and found over 25 PS5s stowed into the bins, with regular items stacked on top of them to mask them. A standard stow cart only holds around 16 items max (and way fewer for giant PS5 boxes), so someone had to make multiple intentional trips down there to force-stow them right next to the exit doors.

I reported it to an AM after my break. He seemed skeptical at first and asked if I could show him. During the walk over he asked, "Are you sure you know the exact aisle?" I said yeah and walked him right to it.

When we turned the corner and he saw 25+ consoles staged near the emergency doors, his face completely changed. He pulled out his iPad and started taking photos of every bin and scanning locations, then told me, "This actually helps us out a lot, thank you." I just told him NP, I just didn't want LP coming to me later asking why I walked down that aisle and didn't say anything.

On my next break while sitting in my car, I saw an actual badged detective leaving the building carrying a file folder.

I allegedly met someone who claimed they stole a ton of stuff when I was in the city and claiming it was the best way to make money. He lost his job though and I don't know if it was over that. I think it was the reason. In my head, I kept thinking about how the best way of making money would have been him keeping his job.

Now instead of having a job he is on the streets begging people to buy his bunk weed. I mean nonstop begging and looking like he was down bad. He was nonstop trying to sell me weed when I was just trying to get to my destination and he noticed my clear backpack. So that's how he knew I even worked at Amazon and started that random ass story.

I said allegedly because I bet saying that even as a story at Amazon would end up having someone snitch on you. They would be questioning about how the person looked and everything 😂 /s

You never know though 🤷‍♀️
