We had a temporary post once, at a noodle factory where a 100 foot section of wall was knocked out for expansion. The guards main job was to keep people from entering the building through the hole until everything was closed in.
One Saturday afternoon, the guard on post heard some loud crashing noises on the other side of the property. He investigated the noise and found two men in a roll-off truck from a local trash hauler. They said they just picked up some construction debris. Most guards would have went back to their book at that point. But, being a conscientious guard, our man wrote the time, company name, truck number, and the driver's name "Butch" - which was embroidered on his shirt - on his daily report.
On Monday morning, a bunch of metal scaffolding turned up missing from the area where our guard saw the roll-off truck. The client checked the weekend reports and found the guard's entry about the roll-off truck. Turned out that none of the contractors used that particular roll-off service.
To make a long story short, our investigators found that Butch was re-siding his house. Next to his house, they discovered the missing scaffolding.
I am not saying that this incident was the reason we kept the account after the construction ended; but, who knows?
