Our engineer quit with no notice and is now working at our direct competitor - took files. Can we do anything?
.....he was an employee of our small family company and attended birthday parties, family cookouts, etc. He came in after we had been away on an install and said, "I quit." I'm just kicking myself at this point. He struggled with not showing up to work and we worked with him on that. He made VERY nice raises and bonuses. Made $10g more than the average topout for his degree. This is all irrelevant....... didnt sign a non-disclosure so he CAN work for the company, but the files? We KNOW he took the files because we were sent a copy by a customer whose job we were bidding, and we had not shared them with the company yet. WOW.
didn't sign a non-compete or a non-disclosure... but does that give him free reign to take our files?

he still stole private files - not legal - not sure if you can get police involved in a matter like that - they would need probable cause to get a search warrant and if he didn;t have them at home, you'd be out of luck
I would call the company he went to and tell them what he did - maybe they won't like such a dishonest person working for them - also tell them he had a major attendence problem

Court.
Of course it would have to be a violation of the agreements he signed when he was employed with your company. I would hire a lawyer or look into his files and his paper work.
