Job applicants allegedly swipe wallet at interview

[Sequoia]

A tip for would-be thieves: If you’re going to a job interview, don’t swipe someone’s wallet and expect to be hired.

Two job seekers learned that lesson the hard way after Fremont police snagged them with a simple sting: getting the applicants’ would-be new boss to tell them, “You’re hired!” Excited, the two alleged thieves rushed back to the office, where they found detectives and an unhappy employer waiting for them.

Busted!
