I Concealed Repeated Thefts

I concealed repeated thefts by categorising them as shrinkage. The harm affected staff whose performance was questioned. I adjusted reports so losses appeared normal. No investigation followed because figures stayed within expected ranges. I benefited by avoiding scrutiny and maintaining my role. Staff were monitored more closely and morale dropped. The thefts continued until I left. The losses remain recorded as routine variance and no responsibility was assigned. The pattern was never examined in detail.
