Former Oakley Employee Stole $1 Million in Goods

You might want to rethink that stapler or pen that you might have “borrowed” from work.  Of course, unless that pen or stapler is worth $1 million you might be okay.  Or unless you sell your “borrowed” items on eBay.

Turns out Oakley, the sunglasses and bunch of other things maker, had an employee who liked to “borrow” a lot of stuff.

Police searched a former employee’s home in Santa Ana, CA, after Oakley let them know about many items it had found for sale online on eBay.  There they found approximately $1 million in stolen merchandise taken by the employee (or $250,000 according to some results — still not small potatoes).

Authorities recovered 9,800 pieces from the ex-employee’s home, including very unique items that were not available to the public.  Oakley figured the items were either stolen by an insider or counterfeit.

The ex-employee Oscar Zuniga is being held on $100,000 bail with an immigration hold.  Charges are still pending.
