“[P]olice had surveillance camera footage of Pellerito bringing the computer and camera back to WMU.”

You’d be surprised. You’d be surprised how many security cameras are already in place around your office. You’d be surprised how quickly and easily police can rig up a security camera if they think you’re doing something weird.

So when Western Michigan University suspected that the chair of occupational therapy (scroll down) was buying aMAzing, er, cameras for himself out of an endowment fund, they pointed a camera at his office door and filmed the fool returning everything the day after said suspicions were communicated to him.

Auditors have also discovered that he has routinely been “reimbursed for mileage he never logged.”

He goes on trial for embezzlement soon.

If you’ve read this blog for any period of time, you know that UD has covered plenty of stories that involve thieves and hoaxers on campus being caught by security cameras.
