“Without a care in the world, dripping in diamonds, thinking she had deceived everybody, Roberts arrogantly posed on social media and sent pictures boasting to her ex-colleagues about the great time she was having on holiday, not thinking they would realise what she had been doing.”

She couldn’t have tried harder to be caught. It’s one thing to post it to social media (dumb) but directly to your former co-workers? Next level stupid.

We had something similar happen decades ago when I worked at AT&T. I was a techie responsible for financial services systems (payroll, AP, treasury, tax compliance and remittance, etc.). A payroll clerk had set up a fake vendor in the ancient AP system and was embezzling by making payments to herself. An ice cream vendor no less. But then she started wearing expensive jewelry and clothes and flaunted wealth that seemed to come from nowhere – at work. Didn’t take long to crack that one. But it was a seriously embarrassing lapse of auditing.

“grew suspicious when she began taking jewellery home from work between 2017 and 2018.”

EIGHT YEARS and no one put together that “the person taking jewelry home probably has something to do with the missing jewelry”?

Lucy was arrested at Heathrow Airports with stolen diamonds?

So Lucy was in the sky with diamonds?

Zoom in and look at her eyes. Mesmerizing.

When I worked at FedEx we got an entirely new terminal management team. Packages were going missing, a lot of them (why they fired the old management team). At that point I was the most senior person in the building, they called me in to try and get an idea of what was going on. They were convinced the handlers were making off with all this stuff (including 50 pound boxes) because they were missing the “out for delivery” scan. I said maybe you should look at the delivery drivers considering A.) they are expected to leave the building each day with a van full of boxes and B.) they are the ones that scan the packages out for delivery and then load them into their trucks. They didn’t appreciate me pointing that out, but a couple of weeks later they fired a couple of drivers and the problem stopped.

Noticed a small article later in the page:

“ANDREW JACKSON, 60, of Eastworth Road, Chertsey admitted exceeding a temporary 40mph speed restriction on the M4 eastbound at Welford, Newbury. He was recorded at 46mph. Jackson was fined £288 and received three points on his licence. He must pay £120 court costs and a £115 surcharge.”

No, not the name. The guy was 6 MPH over the limit. Ended up paying £523 (about 717 USD). AND 3 points on his license. Holy fark! That includes a £115 (158 USD) victim(?) surcharge. Normal speed limit on the M4 is 50 mph so I’m guessing it was a construction zone but that isn’t mentioned. Still…you’d think lots of traffic going about the same speed on a highway.

One of them wasn’t named Jocelyn by any chance was it? She just stopped being the delivery person to our building one day and her replacement clued me in. Long time ago
