Quote:Walmart shoppers pay in cash ? lots and lots of cash, records of a daring $200,000-plus heist show.
And the thief walked right out the front door with the money, stopping only momentarily to fool a front-of-the-store greeter.
No standard crime, Orange County Sheriff's Office reports describe a classic inside job when a man dressed as a Walmart supervisor emptied the safe at Walmart's Turkey Lake Road store.
Store cameras followed him from the moment he parked until he left the store, pushing a shopping cart holding boxes packed with cash. Though it happened July 11, the agency waited until Friday to seek the public's help after exhausting conventional means to catch the thief.
"There's surveillance video of a lot of crime, but without the right audience seeing it to identify the suspect, it's just video," sheriff's Detective David Lindberg said. "That's why we want the public to look at it."

There has to be more than we are being told here. Why the hell was there that much cash sitting around in the first place. I can see that much in December but we are talking July.

WalMart needs to train its greeters to watch people a little more closely. Especially managers for Walmart, because I can't see how any store would have that much unless the managers screwed up.

No offense intended, but have you seen who they're hiring to be greeters? For the payscale they're not exactly getting the kind of folk you need in what amounts to a loss prevention role.

From working at a Wal-Mart, 200,000 is small change for a supercenter.During the holiday season it's not uncommon for a single register to have $10K in cash.

I suppose not everyone has access to the safe? Must be an inside job indeed...and if they have the guy on camera, they should be able to find out who it is, right?

You'd think that with so much money floating around, there would be a trigger at, say, $2,500, to get the money to a safe. Either way, this had to have been an inside job to get that much cash out the door
