I owned a retail business in the early 80s. It was broken into one night.
Some merchandise and a high end stereo were stole though no cash was in the
registers.

Some bold person had thrown a brick through one of the front plate glass
windows so there was glass all about. Though there was no alarm (penalties
for noise ordinance on false alarms) I did have a closed circuit video
system.

A guy shows up about the time we arrive at the store to discover the theft.
He was one of the local "characters" and insisted he could help clean up the
glass though I had told everyone not to touch until the police arrived. The
manager of the store had paid this guy to clean the windows and take care of
trash one evening.

As police were filing the report (about the extent of action one gets around
here) I checked the video tape and there was this same guy on the tape.

The police arrested him but not before he accidentally cut himself on some
glass. The guy had the nerve to try to file a Workman's Comp claim against
me saying he was working for me when he was cut.
