Actually, it looks like he acquired the video, then posted it personally, which made the company look like tools, and potentially encourage other thieves.
Should have just passed it to the cops and not tried to make social media hay for himself.

Firing the guy makes them look like bigger tools and way easier targets...
I agree. It's the details that fall through the cracks, as the saying goes. The ex-employee should have turned over the video to the police and let them deal with the thieves. Of course a copy of it would have been useful if, after a length of time, nothing was done.
