Ha! Laser eye surgery, unusual to see someone spending their ill goten gains on something worthwhile

How could Wiggle lose so much stock without realising?

Maybe it was just £150k worth of Haribo

It will have not gone unoticed, but trying to find out where stock is going and put the finger on someone can be very hard , especially without making it obvious you are watching

£83k cost price and £153k retail...
Suddenly my £5 off when I spend £50 doesn't seem quite so exciting!

I shall be asking for Thorntons with my orders from now on.

It ran for 2.5 years so it took them a while to get it sorted. He was sneaking two items out a week on average by the looks of things. After the first few he probably started doing it out of habit.

I reckon a built a bike a day and rode it out

It makes you wonder how he managed to smuggle wheels out, bit of a squeeze in your empty sandwich box!

It's also a bit stupid selling stuff that's only sold by Wiggle - DHB ?

Blame Wiggle !

(PS it's a thread on Bike Radar and had everyone in stitches - was the OP that was an idiot - anything goes wrong, it's Wiggles fault).

That is some bad three way matching in finance...hmmm order was for 10 items, Invoice is for 10 items, but only 9 items received apparently?

Should not have taken a supplier to spot it.

This song springs to mind...

probably a few other people involved too, turning a blind eye for the occasional paypal transfer!

He was the goods-in manager. It might have "been received and gone missing later", or "only 9 items were ordered"

I knew of a goods-in manager that got caught doing the same thing in a Big Named Partnership warehouse. He basically just funnelled stock into a differnt lorry and got it delevered elsewhere. Nobody asked any questions as it was his job.
