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.<br><br>    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.<br><br>    Someone at District and or Spoke level will be looking for a head or two to roll over this.<br>A few job openings coming soon in the North Miami area. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 6th 2008 2:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fake Target Employee Steals $17K In iPods]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/02/06/fake-target-employee-steals-17k-in-ipods/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/02/06/fake-target-employee-steals-17k-in-ipods/</guid><description><![CDATA[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]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ted]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 6th 2008 2:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fake Target Employee Steals $17K In iPods]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/02/06/fake-target-employee-steals-17k-in-ipods/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/02/06/fake-target-employee-steals-17k-in-ipods/</guid><description><![CDATA[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!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mrs07RN09]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 6th 2008 2:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fake Target Employee Steals $17K In iPods]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/02/06/fake-target-employee-steals-17k-in-ipods/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/02/06/fake-target-employee-steals-17k-in-ipods/</guid><description><![CDATA[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]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ted]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 6th 2008 2:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fake Target Employee Steals $17K In iPods]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/02/06/fake-target-employee-steals-17k-in-ipods/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/02/06/fake-target-employee-steals-17k-in-ipods/</guid><description><![CDATA["Ted", dont be ignorant.

They were locked inside a see through case,(I live in suburbia too, not a city) had to locate assistance, after doing so and having the case opened the employee stood there which made me feel rushed and uncomfortable as I was uneducated on iPODS, they were gifts and considered it a large purchase and then I had to pay immediately for them right there in the department (but only the iPODs...none of my other shopping).  I've also had problems with DVD's there.  The ones that have a cardboard jacket over the plasctic DVD case.  Now I look carefully, but it took getting burned twice to learn this lesson.  They remove the jacket, slit the side of the DVD case, let the DVD slide right out thru the thin cut, slide the jacket back on, place it back on the shelf and it sits waiting for an unsuspecting customer.<br><br>I hope his Mother is real proud.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ImAFedExGirl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 6th 2008 3:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fake Target Employee Steals $17K In iPods]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/02/06/fake-target-employee-steals-17k-in-ipods/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/02/06/fake-target-employee-steals-17k-in-ipods/</guid><description><![CDATA[Give me a break. We have an attention problem in the US. <br>The guy is a thief plain and simple. He would not work if you gave him a job. He is a PROFESSIONAL THIEF. That is all he does or will do for a living.<br>He will not work because it is easier and more productive to STEAL. The Issue was the THIEF not his nationality, or his race, or his color. He is a thief using the seams in Targets system. The issue is Target does not control invebtory and then expects you and I to pay for their lack of control by increasing prices.<br>If you are niave enough to think the man in the picture would work if you gave him a job then I have a bridge I want to sell you CHEAP.<br>GROW UP you MORONS]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[eengle54]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 6th 2008 3:59PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
