I aware of someone in work who on his break in local shop near job regularity steals things like can of coke, bar of chocolate , I have made this aware to someone in management who says they can do nothing about it as he is doing this outside work grounds,
I take his point but ethically I feel like tipping of the shop involved without given my details , ie give car reg and watch when this lady comes into your shop and see if you can catch her on camera .
I also now do not leave things lying about any longer in the job which I always felt I could ie wallet in my draw,phone . The place we work is multinational with openness, integrity etc as part of their ethos so I thought they may have given another option .
Also is it some kind of crime not to report known crime going on .

Op, it's quite silly to think your employer could do anything.

There's nothing at all stopping you from tipping off the shop anonymously. It's the best option.

There's also nothing stopping you from reporting your colleague to the gardai.

There's no legal obligation for you to do anything.

They will get caught in due course. I would just forget about it. You are certainly under no obligation to do, or not do anything.

Hi Op

If someone was caught and convicted of shoplifting, in this country, they would avoid a conviction for a 1st offense and only get fined for subsequent convictions Especially for small value offenses. But they would be unlikely to lose their job - that's not typically a proportionate penalty for the offense.

you wanted him disciplined/fired from his place of work which screams overreaction.

if you feel you need to do something you could

a) have a quiet word personally - the approach i would favour
or
b) approach the store manager and have a quiet word.

i think you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself why you would have made unproven allegations the mgmt of your firm as your 1st action/reaction.
