Complaint Review: THE HOME DEPOT

Went to return items I had purchased for my contractors the day before and on my Home Depot account. Employee and Manager stole my merchandise.

I called the police. Home Depot employees lied and said I threatened to shoot up the store. I'm a 43 year old business owner who works in a highly litigious industry so I have a wealth of experience in the civil judicial system. I said I would "Sue" Home Depot.  I also initiated the call to police as I told the manager I would not allow them to steal my merchandise.  This is where the story takes an almost unbelievable turn until I researched and learned situations like mine are rather common. 

Home Depot has teamed up with local law enforcement and District Attorneys across the country to combat a publicly known theft issue in their stores.  Due to these partnerships employees seem to be actively seeking out issues that most times just are not there causing a toxic environment for unsuspecting customers like myself.  In addition, Home Depot employees who have been very publicly and documented in hundreds of court cases known to lie, fabricate claims, and steal merchandise seem to have impunity and believed over customers.

I was taken to jail for terroristic threats i did not make, still to this day my merchandise has never been returned or refunded (Home Depot literally stole my merchandise yet had me arrested), and lost $10's of thousands in legal bills and lost income.

 I took a polygraph test (attached) and passed with 2.5 times the score needed for Truthfullness to prove my innocence. No deception found. I dont go around threatening women or risking my freedom and career over what amounts to dinner money in  merchandise.

 Home Depot literally has hundreds of false arrests, false imprisonment,  and false claims just like mine or very similar and are defendants in over 4,000 cases as found on pacer. Home Depot has also been subject to regulatory actions with most government bodies from the FTC, CFPB, OSHA, and the EEOC to name a few. They have over 250 regulatory fines or penalties amounting to over $200 milllion in just the last few years and this doesn’t include civil suits or class actions by consumers. 

New Investigations have commenced into the practices. I am far from an isolated incident.
