Daft Situation

If someone steals your stuff, would you report it to the coppers? I would, but maybe that’s me, today at the BBQ, celebrating Tobias birthday one of the guys that worked briefly with me told us he lost his electric cutters, now that is an equipment that cost a lot of money, regardless of how he lost it, even thought he left it outside his caravan park on a Friday night for a few seconds, someone stealing it would really be weird, they all knew each other and Aussies aren’t a dishonest type of people, they are usually the honest kind, especially if you live in a town like Mudgee, where everybody know each other. For me, I would have gone straight to the police because first of all that cost like 3000+ bucks and that is like working for one month in vain, screw that I am not labouring for free. Something really logic was mentioned today by Dave, he reckons that the equipment should have never left the workplace because for a few reasons, one it doesn’t belong to us and two why do they have to bring it home and charge it at home? Well besides to save energy consumption by our employers, cheeky bastards and the fact that they will be charging your for anything that will happen to it, makes you want to wonder how low these people are being treated, it is like you work to help them pay off their debts or something, in other words slavery. If those equipments were so expensive why leave it to your employees, whom by all means can steal it or sell it, especially disgruntled ones. This whole job is really fishy and the more time I spend here and hear all these stories the more I find it more peculiar and intriguing about this contractor, I mean there were two girls who really questioned my reasoning for calling the cops, I mean, It is just logical because the boss or G guy is a sneaky guy, he would cut you off just to save a few bucks, how on earth would he not screw you up? And on top of that he tells this German guy not to go to the coppers? I mean, a reasonable person would think twice about this sort of person and if you have nothing to hide, what’s the fuss about visiting the police, it is not like you are working illegally, then you are basically screw (another reason why I would never work anywhere illegally, cause I don’t want to be exploited), by going to the coppers, they might actually help you and they will be on your side and statistically stolen goods are almost never going to turn up so the chances are slim to ever finding them, unless the person who stole it is a buffoon but that is another story, the thing is by reporting to the authorities, you are letting them know about this missing items and they will be informed about your and if something like let say your employer threatened to fire you, at least you will have some kind of protection, you never know how unscrupulous people would try to extort you or take advantage of you. Sometimes it is better to position yourself in a better and more advantageous position rather than leave yourself at risk or vulnerable. All I hope now is that he goes to the coppers and try not to just go away because if he does that, then he will be doing something that will put him on the wrong side of the law because by doing that, his boss could actually call the authorities and get him into trouble and that is what you don’t want to do, to make your situation worse off, it is better to have the coppers on your side than against you. Protect yourself by watching others and by doing that you are also protecting others at the same time.
