Brickhouse Security in New York sells lots and lots of cameras. They even have one hidden in a teddy bear and they’ve got this crazy one inside a clock. Anyway, they were filming their office one evening when a frayed vacuum cord started to burn. Things would have been fine but management decided to move a file cabinet over the burn and then blame it on cigarette smoke. Boy were their faces red when they whipped out some footage from the scene, catching the nefarious manager in the act.

The company post itself looks like a dig at their cleaning/maintenance company, but it’s nice to know at least some justice has been served thanks to Panopticon-style surveillance.
