[QUOTE="chopstic, post: 545827, member: 11156"] If he gave them consent to look through his car, then there's no question about it, they may legally look through his car. The big legal question here is whether UPS has the authority to "seize" something that may look suspicious. An officer of the law obviously has that right, but UPS security does not have the same authority. As a citizen you may be afforded the right to reclaim something you know "beyond a reasonable doubt" is your property. But how much evidence did UPS have when they found that pack of cigarrettes, that it was in fact their stolen property? Could there have been reasonable doubt that he legitimately purchased those cigarettes? Its a good thing this employee was fired. I'm not disputing that at all. But the methods of UPS may be in question here. What do you think? I think UPS should have contacted the police and let them perform the necessary enforcement (searches, seizures, arrests, etc..). In fact it may even be a crime in that state to have knowledge of a theft and not report it to the proper authorities. [/QUOTE]
