And i would hardly consider "telling HR about something that happened" a huge leap. I'm not trying to get any legal involvement, more so I want it documented in case something else happens. Otherwise every incident can just be considered isolated and nothing will be done. | |
| Nov 11, 2016 at 21:07 | comment | added | SJuan76 | @MattBrennan Again, these are some huge leaps that you are doing for a single incident that just did involve a sticker being peeled. If you are really that worried ("numerous other things") and not just a drama king, request police protection. If I were that paranoid, I would say that the book was robbed by someone that is obsessed with me and was stalking me and is getting ready for "numerous other things that it can bring". And BTW... how did you know that it was a textbook? I did not specify that, and that sounds very suspicious to me. | |
| Nov 11, 2016 at 21:00 | comment | added | Matt Brennan | @SJuan76 the textbook example doesn't apply here in the slightest. They would have something to gain from taking the textbook, and it's not an inconvenience to pick up a text book like peeling a sticker off of someones car. Sure, I don't think someone is going to rob me because of this situation, but there are numerous other things that it can bring that can be avoided. | |
| Nov 11, 2016 at 13:42 | comment | added | SJuan76 | @mgarciaisaia I think the not feeling secure line is a bit overblow, unless you assume that everybody who does something as minor as peeling a sticker will be involved also in more serious attacks. To put an example, if I forgot a book outside my car in the parking lot and found later that somebody had taken it(which is indeed a crime), I would not take that as a sign that the same person would assault and rob me in the same parking lot... In fact, I would say that it is not "a bit overblown", but rather quite a lot overblown. Try to use some common sense. | |

You can't prove that your sticker actually disappeared on the premises, nor point to a possible suspect, nor give any allusion to a motive other than you breathing. If it was all that bad, you could have (a) called the non-emergency number for the local police, (b) waited until the next morning for them to actually show up, (c) got a police report that they'd throw in the round file (d) spent an hour filing an insurance claim, and (e) wrote your local member of Congress, and Mr. Obama. I'm done, before this is deleted too. | |
| Nov 10, 2016 at 19:22 | comment | added | Matt Brennan | @codenoir yes but that's a criminal case executed by a higher authority. My situation involves office disputes and tensions with my workspace. If I feel alienated in my work, and that affects my ability to perform my job as well as I should, It becomes a major issue. Is that not the point of HR, to help solve inter-persons disputes within the workplace? | |
| Nov 10, 2016 at 18:22 | comment | added | Xavier J | @mgarciaisaia I used to work for a company, with a name i wouldn't even have to finish for you to recognize, that provides in-home consumer entertainment. I supported a fraud department. Know what? They'd turn cases over to the FBI. The FBI doesn't even bother with cases less than $100 grand. In short, one can't chase after everything. | |
| Nov 10, 2016 at 18:01 | comment | added | mgarciaisaia | If, as a security manager, you tell "Have $2, move along", I'd feel you don't care enough for security. He's not crying about the 2 bucks the sticker costs, but the fact of not feeling secure at your premises. It's not the sticker - it's the fact they did it. | |

They can always be deleted for whatever reason. Any critical information should go into answers/questions, and any lengthy discussions should be held in chat. | |
| Nov 10, 2016 at 13:29 | comment | added | Xavier J | shrug wasn't my doing. I didn't know they were gone til your comment just now | |
| Nov 10, 2016 at 13:27 | comment | added | Matt Brennan | I would like to know why my comments were deleted here. They were valid and relevant to the answer. I'm not "reporting a missing sticker" I'm reporting an incident involving possible political targeting. I'd rather like to handle it so it doesn't continue and I find myself in a worse situation. | |
