The most expensive hot tub on a sales lot was allegedly stolen during the night after an employee did an inventory count.

A man who was reportedly flagged for being anti-law enforcement called the police complaining that management hadn’t helped him when co-workers called him names and told him that what he “does is wrong” and that he is “wrong for not supporting the same thing they do.” He was counseled.
