Dr. Kardasz: Stories of theft, like the one below, make me wonder about the amount of money or property that someone would risk their career over. In the story below, apparently the amount was $3,000.00.

An eight-year veteran of the New Orleans Police Department has been arrested on theft charges, authorities said Tuesday.
Kelvin Jackson was arrested Monday night by investigators with the department's public integrity bureau. He was booked with theft and possession of stolen property valued at approximately $3,000.00.
The alleged incident occurred at a Wal-Mart Superstore.
According to investigators, store officials called police and said that Jackson was seen on their video surveillance camera placing stolen merchandise in his personal vehicle, while working a paid authorized security detail.
Public integrity officers reviewed the tapes and positively identified Jackson as the suspect, police said. They obtained a search warrant for Jackson's home where they found the stolen property, authorities said.
Jackson, who was assigned to the Fourth District, was arrested and booked without incident and immediately resigned.
