Re: Certainly can't blame them First, the driver could probably press charges. No matter how you look at it, it's still a private truck and the guy trespassed into it. Second, sorry for assuming it's you. However the idiot that filmed this needs to get a life. I hope that guy who is caught uses the tape to sue the other person. Not only was that evidence obtained illegally (through trespassing / breaking into a car per say), but the camera man also broke the law. I wouldn't be hard pressed to say that camera man has a good time ahead of him too. |

| I'll give you that it's a private truck but when a driver has it out using it for business use Lowe' is still the one in charge of it. Such they'd be the one that would have to press charges. The store's do not even own, or have rights to the trucks that they use. Our Corp. Office (in Wilksboro, NC) "leases" them to each store. The lease agreement is basically maintenance; which comes out of the store budget. Each truck has plates from the state they're used it but insurance and everything of that such from NC. Even our truck inspections by DOT are preformed by NC; how ever in the hell they manage that one-LOL.
But as far as pressing charges against the camera man, it won't happen. It is Lowe's policy never do anything that could jeopardise any potential business. That' why we don't press charges on shop lifters or anyone else such as this guy. The chances of Lowe's doing anything to the guy but firing him; are very slim to none; only because of the potential shopper thing. Customer satisfaction is #1 NO matter what we have to do. |

| I think your logic is a bit flawed. Look at it from this perspective. If you are driving a rental car, and someone carjacks you, is the rental car company the only one that can press charges? No. If you are driving a company truck, you are still considered the operator of it. While I am sure laws vary by state, it should still be pretty standard. He was under the control of the vehicle, whether as an owner or operator gives him the right to press charges. One last scenario, pretend you borrow a friends car and someone breaks in and steals your purse. Your friend could press charges for the car, but you can still press charges on the stolen purse. Hence, this man can still press charges if he has a good lawyer, on the guy for breaking and entering. While he does not own the truck, he was in control of it at the time. What the man did was no vandalism but trespassing. Two different beats. If the truck was vandalized then it'd have to be lowes that did it most likely. Being that the camera man "broke into the truck" and then illegally gathered evidence, I am sure the guy has a leg to stand on both criminally and civilly. A good lawyer could make a strong case here. After all, the man showed himself opening the door that was closed. If it were open, then the man would have no argument. It wasn't and the camera man took the initiative to tresspass. |

| It maybe flawed but like i said I work for Lowe's I know how their policies work when working for them. When hired by Lowe's you agree to their policy says that you agree to follow their policy regarding that. The first person you call is Lowe's no matter what.
I actually work in Lowe's Delivery. There is a lot of stuff they do that doesn't make sense but its the way Lowe's runs the company. |
