A few years ago, I was an inventory manager at an electrical contracting shop — we had tens of thousands of dollars just in copper wire.
One morning, I arrived to a burglar attempting to steal from our supply house. I performed a citizen's arrest (do not recommend)[1] with some of the other workers, but was the only employee called in to the perpetrator's trialS as I was "the boss" and was the one who bound him physically (multiple wastes of time, the guy "knew how to play the court system").
[1] In the future, I will not call the police.

- sickofparadox 3y agoI was originally going to ask that but felt it was a bit leading. Understandable - low trust societies require low trust social interactions to ensure stability.
