Evil Thieving Guard Begging for a Beating
I thought this situation with our thieving guard was taken care of but nooo.
After copping to stealing the roomie's laptop when 'interviewed' by a sage uncle and his copper buddy in the kampung a couple of nights ago, the guy showed up at the office today claiming he is innocent.
He arrived unannounced with a young cop who lives on my block looking for the roomie. I was called in to observe and maintain a menacing presence. He now catagorically denies having lifted the unit and is demanding his job back and his salary! In fact, my driver told me this morning that last night's guard told him (but not me) that the guy showed up last night to work!
To his credit the cop is not taking sides - at least in my presence - but says it would be better to make an official complaint to the police and let the system, crooked as it is, decide innocence or guilt.
Fair enough. We tried to be nice but now it looks like the gloves are off.
What neither cop nor robber know is that when the uncle and buddy went out to the village to do their interview a couple of nights ago - during which the gormless jerk admitted the theft - the village head asked them to arrest the guy because he's been stealing stuff from his own neighbours!
The other irritant in this case is the fact that the snitch-maid who finally IDed the guard (only after she'd confessed to nicking one of our water dispensers mind you) vanished at noon so when the roomie wanted to sit down with her, she was nowhere to be found.
This is going to get worse before it gets better. Guaranteed.
