The whole loyal part was inserted for the irony of the situation.
Admin
But what they wouldn't expect though would be my army of zombie CHIPMUNKS!
Get him, my pretties!!!
Admin
And he bravely ran away, away!

I wonder though, if the uber-nerd would need call upon the powers of his Dorito-scented body odor...

It can be pretty hard to set up all the forensics right to back up a false claim made on the spur of the minute, you know.

At which point your police will arrive 5 minutes later, and call an ambulance to remove your unconscious body from behind said sofa.
Seriously, the police are there to catch the criminal after a crime has happened, not to prevent it in the first place. Ask anyone that has had to deal with a stalker.

Why risk the possible property damage? Besides, when you find out it was an illegal alien, they'll just be shipped over the border and be back next week hopped up on drugs and tequila.

Chuck does seem to have a problem with loyalty. If he came to me for a job, I'd have a tough time overlooking the way he left Steve in the lurch, after all that Steve had done for him.

There is a local specialty retail store where the owner will fly off the rails at both employees and customers at the slightest hint of a problem. From a bar-code not scanning to having to get product from the stock room.

I hope you don't own any good knives. If I ever caught you putting a Wusthof in the dishwasher or a drawer without a guard, I'd take it from you, sharpen it, then stab you with it.

Too much of video gameing?

I will byte for a bit.

"I hadn't actually got round to getting either the steak or the chopping board out! Du-uh! Goodness me, what brand of wood do they chip you stupid plods out of nowadays?"

They do actually. No, go look it up, we'll wait...
My point was, that unless you happen to live down the street from the local police precinct, by the time you get someone on the phone from the 911 center (all three times I've had to call, there's been a 2 to 4 minute hold), get in touch with the right emergency responders, give them a description of what's happening, and they dispatch someone to help you, chances are that the criminal has already done what they've come for and are long gone.

I thought it had something to do with inversion of control...

After I got the job I learned the MIS Manager didn't know a byte from a mouse, having never worked with either, but she was the CFO's wife. She retained her maiden name so it wasn't obvious on org charts etc.
Later I learned that many of the company's customers were only able to make ends meet by stealing a certain percentage from the company, but it was OK because the company played the same trick on its suppliers.
Then came the day my coworker said "Remember the guy that was touring our data center last week? Well he got murdered yesterday."
And that's about when I decided to move to another state and change my name...

you don't tel good tale

You mean like they did in Columbine?

Protip: Tell the nice people at 911 (once you're not on hold any more) you think the badguy has a few kilos of $BANNED_SUBSTANCE in his car. Cops will be there in 90 seconds to divvy up the loot. You'll still be dead, but the badguy might be hanging around long enough that the cops can take out their frustrations.

How, pray tell, does this store remain in business?

I think I'm missing the punchline here. Like...
Co-worker: Hey, remember that guy that was touring our data center last week? Well, he got murdered yesterday.
You: Murdered? How?
Co-worker: Well, <boss> caught him looking at <wifey>. It wasn't pretty. Blood everywhere. We hid the body. Very unpleasant.
