Green Gardens' owner has asked your advice about a possible problem at his business.  Over the last 6 months the large-sized lawn and garden inventory (ie, tables, chairs, planters, etc.) has appeared to be short.  The inventory records that employees use to determine what is on hand show that more inventory is available than can actually be located.  This has cause frustration and mis-trust in the inventory records for the sales employees.  The owner realizes that the problem is bigger than just frustrated employees.  He is afraid that inventory is being stolen, a problem he didn't think possible given that these are large items that are not easily moved.
