No, reported immediately when the boss arrived. The person who arrives at 4:30 is usually the cleaner. They don’t have access to the security footage or know how much money was in the safe even though they might see it’s been plundered, so they aren’t much use to make the report themselves.
It is terrible what crimes elkstasy will drive people to commit.
No alarms
Reported 3.5 hours later when the broken window was noticed? So it’s normal for money to be missing but not a window to be broken? Dodgy!
