When i used to be a manager at high very popular cell phone chain, I could have easily manipulated the stock. Say that they are going back to the RMA center but don't send anything.. It would take loss prevention months to figure it out. Plus, being a manager, you know all the passwords to the employees and assistant managers. I could have made it look like someone else sent the non existent items back to to RMA.. I know of many managers that pulled this off many times. The worse thing that I saw happen to them was they were fired. But, after stealing tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, its not like they cared too much, lol.. Im just saying that getting hands on valuable merchandise is very plausible.
