Shouldn’t security be doing those things?

Of course, but we all know that’s a show to a certain degree…all I’m saying is that it appears all of their emphasis was on the front end and not in the interior of the “park/resort/mall etc. This has all the earmarks of an inside job…apparently they knew all the security shortcomings throughout DS.

It “shows” people not to bring contraband into WDW.

Again, yes I know it happened after closing, but it seems all the emphasis is on the front end of DS…and don’t say that because it was after closing, there’s not the same need for security patrolling the interior…hell even when I was closing mall stores after 10-11 pm, the “rent-a-cop” mall security was still walking the building interior.

You blamed activities done during guest arrivals as the reason security didn't catch an after-hours crook.

This makes zero sense.

My theory: all three were in on it. Guy never actually was in the water, he’s an employee, came to work with the scuba suit in his bag, charged somewhere on the “vessel”, made sure a security camera caught him in his getup, “stole” the money, changed back into regular clothes somewhere and walked out with all the other restaurant staff from across the park like normal.

Surely the news and relevant law enforcement wouldn't be reporting on it this way if that was the case?

I’m trying to find more information but having difficulty finding the police report. I want to see where this story is coming from and if they have any concrete evidence or if they’re just going by “eyewitness” reports. Did anyone truly see the man get in and out of the water? Did he scale the side of the boat to get in? Where did he swim to/from. It’s all very weird.

Yeah something about this is just…..not making sense.

Absolutely had to be an inside job.
No way this guy would know exactly where the managers office was on the ‘boat’ and know there was that much cash on hand.
He had to have worked at his particular location, or was close friends with someone who works there and was feeding him intel.

The theory the two employees who witnessed this and were left unscathed were in on this could also be a possibility as suggested.
The whole thing smells fishy…and I’m not talking about what’s on the Paddlefish menu here.

Should be relatively easy to find out who is employed there ( or recently departed ) who has scuba diving experience or a dive license.
That is….if he even was in the water.

Only in Florida…

Not super relevant... but wow that water system around DS is long... I'm pretty sure it's connected all the way to the red circle here:

The restaurant is not that big, if those were the only two employees still there then it wouldn't have taken long to search the back of house and find the managers office.
