Burglary Insurance Rise Exposes Servant Theft Tolerance
New York April 10 A 25 percent rise in burglary insurance has surfaced a trend where employers, pressed by domestic worker shortages, tolerate theft from wardrobes and wine cellars to keep staff. Insurers say employers avoid questioning maids to avoid losing workers, while dishonest servants steal wine, clothing and jewelry. A lawyer refused to question a servant over a $1,000 theft, citing fear of staff quitting. A young maid reportedly sold eight cases of champagne and eight of whiskey in two weeks, hosting wine parties with the employer’s stock.
