So at work we do a lot of wheel swaps with winter and summer wheels, we store some on site for customers and a lot go to bmw to store in a big warehouse, well in the last 6 weeks we've had 2 sets go missing, about 7 grands worth!! Both sets have been checked in after delivered from bmw but when we've gone to find them to fit to the customer's cars they've gone, storage cage is there but label removed and no wheels!! We do a lot of these every autumn/spring and the tracking system works.
We have cctv and security staff on site but so far nothing notable can be found in the footage.
Our top boss got us all together and very annoyingly has accused someone in the workshop of stealing these wheels!!! No other departments have been implicated just us, not even parts who are responsible for them!! Needless to say everyone is fuming by this.
He's then banned us from using the workshop for our own vehicles and can't even book them in for mot!!! Said when the theif owns up he'll maybe allow us to use it again.
Now I've been there longer then everyone in the workshop and longer then all or the managers in the place, I'd trust the lads with my life and at times probably do when lifting gearboxes etc. I've been to see the boss and put my point over to him and asked him to explain why it must be workshop staff, he said from previous experience it just has been!!!!!!
We have the police involved and he's demanded everyone to be interviewed by the police but only workshop! One of the lads has called HR and they're not happy we've been accused and we've not far off downed tools over it all.
Not been the best place to work as moral is on it's arse, arguments with management and everyone feels like we're not being trusted with anything at all!! Even better they asked people to do overtime to clear the sales work as it's month end and cars need to go out!! We all left on time and now customers will suffer because of it all.
