Police: Man confesses to ninja-like theft in Skokie
On Sept. 5, when the store security locked the doors and left for the nights, Carol Frank Settecase a 21year old Skokie man was dressed in a ninja like outfit as he hide under a desk in the switchboard operators booth on the store's second floor. He emerged from his hiding place shortly before 8 p.m. and was filmed by store surveillance cameras as he strolled through the Westfield Old Orchard mall Nordstrom for several hours in the dead of the night.. He had stolen more than $30,000 worth of merchandise. After a 3 week of the investigation the camera's revealed that the man worked as a switchboard operator in the store. He was charged with felony theft. Carol confessed saying he planned to sell the stolen merchandise on e-bay to buy himself a motorcycle.

I think some people don't even thinking of the consequences of what could happen if they get caught . This man worked in the mall with lots of cameras , how could he even think he was going to get away with it. Just to buy himself a motorcycle ! He already had a job, all he had to do is save up now he has no job and is facing some jail time. This is also going to be in his back ground. He is now going to find it very difficult for him to find another job. This is one lesson for other's to learn from. Eventually you get caught.
