Transcription (of iMessage exchange): “Hi, is this Paul?
Who is this
This is Erica from the dentist's office. I got your number from your file
Pretty sure this violates Hippo but shoot your shot I guess
I'm not flirting with you. We have you on video stealing thousands of dollars of x-ray equipment”
Why should an employee witnessing a crime contact the thief? And even tell their name and send their phone number?
Edit: nevermind, this was raised before
I'm trying to figure out what X-ray equipment can be stolen that is worth only thousands of dollars. A case of those films you bite on when they x-ray your teeth?
Found the American who thinks healthcare does cost what he sees in the bill.
Nah, I've worked in dental. Those machines are insanely expensive. This is one hand-held unit for sale just under 3k, down from just under 7k . That doesn't count the sensors, which are also crazy expensive.

Most offices have machines attached to the wall, which would be extremely difficult to steal. But a nomad is portable.

Above is ONE sensor (most offices have at least 2) that costs around 7k. There are other neccessities as well, but I think you get the point
Well, to be fair a few k is not expensive for medical equipment which is not a mass market, needs certification and usually lasts decades. It's like no money.
