The local IGA has a "wall of shame" where they have photos of thieves.

Lo and behold, there's a picture of my neighbour lol

Fucking hell

lol the local leos back in melbs has a wall of shame too (usually about 8 piccys from cctv). Feel sorry for the staff as they're all kids and the thieves are pretty much 30+ which would be intimidating.

Same as this IGA they're just kids.

This week will give me an estimation of how long that will take.

Ultimately, if I can't get a raise, I'm stuck here till I move house.

In Victoria we have different laws for privacy with or without audio, I don't think it's unlawful unless the person wishes to take them for VCAT for a false accusation.

It would fall under libel, meaning that they would have unlawfully besmeared your character if they are unable to provide solid proof.

But you would have to initiate a case.

And then Old Mate IGA rocks up with footage of them stealing to the hearing.
