CMV: If you lied about the size of your "theft" to the police, Amazon, or both, you should be ashamed of yourself

#This is the best story I can remember, this is not the only story I've been told.<br><br>The police get a call from someone at the local Amazon warehouse who wants to make a report of an employee who stole a large box of Playstation 5s on Wednesday night (the employee is a night stocker). <br><br>This employee will be referred to as John. <br><br> They find John on the road and pull him over. After they explain why they have pulled him over they ask him if they can search his vehicle. John doesn't ask why they would need to do that, he lets them search his vehicle. They find a large box of PS5s in the back of his car filled with games. <br><br>They ask what all that is for and John explains that he does not send his games back to Amazon he hoards them and uses them to upgrade his console. He also admits that he stole the PS5s filled with games. <br><br>The police ask the Amazon employee how many they believe was stolen, they say:<br><br>> "Anytime we have a night stocker steal they always take atleast 3 boxes. This is filled to the brim so that is atleast 20 consoles."<br><br><br>And then they take John to jail. Fast forward two weeks, we get the footage of John stealing only 1 box. This box was only 6 consoles. <br><br>The Amazon employee was lying to try to get John in more trouble for this. If they had been honest John would have most likely only gotten a fine and a misdemeanor charge. Because the employee lied and said 3 boxes filled to the brim with 20 consoles John will most likely be facing a felony charge.
