"The Home Depot stores in the L.A. area are doing the same thing."

My brother worked at a Home Depot in the Dallas area. They told him that he was catching to many thiefs. He quit.

What did he do, catch the store manager hygrading the merchandise?

The home office told the manager at the Oceanside, CA store to either cut down on the theft or he would be replaced so I don't think it's a company policy to not catch thieves.
