Fake Target Employee Steals $17K In iPods

Look for the LOGO? Target allows their employees to wear any styled red shirt, the shirts are not issued or monitored by the company. It's an easy scam to get away with. Watch Out.

My girlfriend worked for Target for 9 years. They all bought their own shirts. In fact, she didnt own one with a logo.

The man is a genious.

i work at target and it is our stores policy to wear your name badge with the target logo or you get sent home. so look for the name badge on the red shirt!!

I think the article meant to say look for the NAMETAG (which incidentally has the Target logo on it)

My son worked there during the Christmas holidays this year. The company does not furnish the red shirts, and any red shirt will do. The logo referenced in the article by Tim Stevens is on the employee name badge, worn conspicuously on the left chest of the employee's shirt.

the man isn't a genious. he's a thief. he'll eventually be caught and sent to prison like all the other idiots who thought they were smarter than the system too.

I personally work for target now, and we all supply our own shirts but alot of us do own red shirts with logos on them that we have earned. This Ipod/zune issue is very popular in california too. I have seen it happen in a few stores. It can happen in any store anywhere walmart, kmart, bestbuy.

NO STEVE - THE MAN IS A THIEF AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!!

Get an ORANGE APRON~~thats what we do at Home Depot~!!!! lol

As a former Assets Protection Specialist for Target, I am amazed these high dollar items were not in a locked and secure display case. That is the easiest deterrent to this kind of theft. These items should of also had a security tag on them either placed by the manufacturer or the store itself. The sensors at the front door would have sounded and the Target Protection Specialist, (The security person at the front of the store), would have noticed this activity and also not recognized the thief as an employee and could have made a customer service stop and alerted the APS or APTL(Assets Protection Team Leader)to make an apprehension.

I saw lots of different kinds of theft when I was with Target, and this is a simple theft scheme, which could have easily been detected and stopped without loss.

Someone at District and or Spoke level will be looking for a head or two to roll over this.
A few job openings coming soon in the North Miami area.

why to go ! people wonder about and say about race?????? get rid of the border crossers and give people jobs.....11 million illegials???? give them a riffle send them overseas,instead of free education,medical.food and housing.then they work on top of things?????look what most drive and live and where there money goes,free from taxes etc....if we got rid of all the illegials look how much gas we would save!!!!!Americans get up off your ass and demand your right to work...and kick a mexican home

When I worked for Target a few years ago, they didn't have company issued polos. We could just wear any shirt (polo, t-shirt, sweater) as long as it was red. The polos with logos on them are earned like a previous poster said. I hope they will look at this situation and think about issuing company polos with the bullseye embroidered logo to every employee!

question????? if this man had a job would have he had to do this??? state of delaware...man arested for stealing loaf a bed and a qt of milk for a baby givin 10months in stste jail...cost to tax payers mre than loaf of bread and milk for 1 day in jail....smart move delaware..good use of tax payers money...GIVE AND BUY AMERICAN GOODS...F....WALMART AND SAMS CLUB...MADE WHERE..YOUR JOBS....NOT

"Ted", dont be ignorant. This has nothing to do with race. There are lots of criminals from different races out there and you know it. If you don't then you are stupid!! Just for the record yes this guy should get caught!

What this article failed to say is that the guy walked up to the holiday temp help at the electronics counter asked for the keys to locked cabinets, and then emptied them out. So not only did he fool the customers he also fooled the employees.

TED you are really a m-o-r-o-n.
Not all illigals are mexicans. How about all the canadians, french, english, asians, australians, south americans and so on and so on. Always blaming averything on the mexicans, Moron

wow. there are so many employees at these large stores that it's easy to not get noticed. i worked for a store that had people climbing in the ceilings for days and people just assumed they were repair men and they were actually staying up there plotting a robbery. the store manager hardly told anyone what was going on and one of the guys was the old managers son-in-law who used to work there so no one thought anything about it. i think it's hilarious.

and all you morons misspelling "genius" by typing GENIOUS...can take a lesson from that clever cat.

My husband works for Target Asset Protection. When he heard this he laughed. These aitems are REQUIRED to be in the locked cases in the electronics department. He said this is why many Target Stores now provide T-shirts (at cost to the employees)with the Target logo on it.

What I find unbelievable is that the devices were "on the shelf". In the Target where I worked up until last week, they are locked in glass cases and only the Electronics team member has the keys. I have to think there is a little more to this story...
