This question allows the interviewer to discover more about your character. It's not uncommon for ethical dilemmas like this to come up from time to time, so speak openly about any relevant experiences you've had dealing with this type of situation. If you haven't been faced with this situation, walk the interviewer through how you would handle this in a hypothetical way. Think carefully about your answer, as it will leave a lasting impression. Demonstrate your ability to follow a company policy for this type of issue and your commitment to honesty, integrity, and loyalty.

"If I caught an employee stealing, I would report the incident to my supervisor immediately. I am a very honest and ethical person and take theft seriously. If it were my company, I would expect my employees to report this type of situation immediately. I know how much damage employee theft can cause for the organization and I would do all that I could to prevent and report it."

"I'm sure your company has an internal policy for this type of situation, and I would be sure to adhere to that policy. If I was certain the coworker was stealing, I would report it to my supervisor and fill out any statements required. If I had a suspicion of a coworker, I would try to approach them in a non-confrontational way, reiterating that the company doesn't tolerate theft and trying to understand what was happening."
