This was years ago, early 90's and I was an area manager at a big box building supply store (the green one, not the orange or blue ones still around today) Someone at the home office decide it would be a good idea to purchase a shit load of hot tubs and we were having a hard time selling them. I suggested setting one up in the lawn and garden department with astro-turf, lawn chairs and the works.
I was sleeping with another manager and we did the re-set together with a few employees. Got done about 3 AM and let everyone out and re-set the alarm, deciding to "break it in" On this night, of all nights, some drunk idiot crashed into the front doors, setting off the alarm at about 4 AM.
We hauled ass to the break room to get dressed and the police showed up within five minutes. Our GM showed up a few minutes afterwards. We tried to make it look like we were just finishing up with the re-set and getting ready to leave, but our GM and one of the cops decided to take a walk to the office to check the surveillance cameras... Fuck! Not only were we on tape, but they were scratching their heads as they walked past the display because of two pairs of wet foot prints heading to the back of the store. Our GM's voice over the PA system was priceless as he paged us to the office. The other manager and I were scared shitless as we took our walk of shame. The look on the cops face said it all... busted! He was doing all he could to not bust out laughing and our GM was doing the same. Luckily for us, we knew that he was banging one of the cashiers. We still had to make statements for the police report, and our GM didn't fire us but he also never let us live it down. He told me later that he was planning to do the same thing with the cashier the next night. Good times! I miss that store to this day!
