Theft of Company Property

Theft of Company Property and Property Damage Property damage on company premises and to company vehicles is a business-related nuisance – especially when it occurs regularly. In cases of theft to the detriment of companies, we distinguish between crimes committed by third parties and theft by employees:

Theft by Third Parties

Unknown third parties frequently steal fuel, vehicles, portable machinery, and other items. These offenses usually take place under the cover of darkness. Targeted surveillance of company premises or storage areas containing at-risk property using night vision equipment by the detectives of the Aaden Detective Agency Munich can quickly provide clarity. In the best case, the perpetrators’ license plate numbers are recorded and the police are immediately notified. Observation continues until law enforcement arrives, even if the perpetrators have already left the scene. In some cases, our investigators from Munich are even led directly to the perpetrators’ residential addresses.

Billions in Losses Caused by Employees

A study conducted by the service company The Smart Cube in cooperation with Checkpoint Systems, a provider of merchandise security systems, on the causes and costs of shrinkage in retail identified total losses of 4.7 billion euros in Germany in 2013. In retail, but especially in the hospitality industry, employees often help themselves at the expense of their employers. The range of offenses extends from petty theft to taking money from the cash register and removing goods from storage rooms. Before the business owner becomes aware of the activities of the employee or employees, the financial losses can already be substantial. Particularly in cases of “self-consumption” in the hospitality and food sector, employees often lack awareness of wrongdoing.
