It was always low on stock but still!

It is a 1 man store in Sunderland centre.

oh and he's a geordie not a mackem.

Ahh. This explains a few things. The one man store concept does require too much trust, but it can work so long as you have floating workers to come in and help. Sadly GW doesnt do that, One man completely alone is wrong for so many different reasons.

Anyway what puzzles me is the amount stolen over the timeframe. This just cannot be cash. I doubt the turnover is that big and you would have to be a bigger cretin than Jervis to want to be in a position to claim the entire till contents were stolen two months running, and a bigger cretin yet (Haines level) to be the area manager likely to fall for it.

I smell a resale fraud, delivery fraud or some other scam.

Thank you for grasping the point.

We can argue all day about th unfairness of law and law vs morality but the big question here is what the hell happened and what made someone think they could get away this something so extreme.

stealing little plastic miniatures is just pathetic and there is no reason good enough for what he did.

Exactly, someone tell me how stealing miniatures even compares to disarming a bomb or saving your dying wife.

It's comparable in that they both fall under this blanket statement:

You're just different alignments on the same Lawful spectrum.

I break the law every day as I drive to work faster than the posted speed limit allows.

If that even ups the price of 1 model by a cent ,I will personally eat him.
