Thinking to your scenario Gel, I think the employees should have been
informed before now that thefts were taking place and that if they continued
management would be forced to install cameras. That would alert any looting
employee to stop thieving. While it wouldn't catch the thief it would at
least provide an opportunity to not have to install cameras and annoy the
employees on that floor.
If the thefts continue well then just install the cameras as you either have
an outsider or one brazen thief who is evil and must be stopped !

I can go with the cams - but they do need to tell ALL of the employees
first.
I personally think that it's the company's right, esp. with all of that
theft. Earthlink (MindSpring) does it, and has for a couple of years -
mostly for the same reason - high amounts of internal theft... Swipe cards,
yeah... that's the ONE thing I miss from back when I was at MindSpring...
