Well, I have update. The executive chef an GM called me early this morning. They weren't there when It happened, but they said as soon as hey found out about it, they did all they could to get to the bottom of it. They checked the time clock and found out that a dishwasher stayed later than usual, but we weren't busy enough to warrant it. None of us knew he was there, because we were washing our own stuff, so he definitely wasn't doing his job. They called him in las night to talk to him about it and he admitted to taking my knife kit as well as a knife from the chef de cuisine and another knife from another cook.
The knives they lost weren't their good ones. I admi, it is partially my fault for taking the whole second kit with me. I was called in last minute to work a overnight shift. Since I had that day off, I told them I would. They called me at the lat minute to let me know I would be doing a lot of butchering that night, something I don't usually carry knives for in my usual kit since I usually work GM. So I grabbed my second kit tha had my butchering tools without clearing out the ones I didn't need first because I was in a rush to get to work. Normally I don't take that much to work.
Regardless, the dishwasher said he didn't have them anymore, he sold all of them for $200 to send back to his family in his home country. They fired him and the police escorted him out. They mentioned a possible deportation in his future.
I don't feel comfortable mentioning the name of the restaurant right now because they did step it up eventually to figure out what happened. The restaurant that I am moving to is the Ashby Inn in Paris, Va. I start tomorrow.
