On March 2012, the Defendant confirmed that one of the crowdfunding was lost in the process of confirming the inventory goods of the Defendant store, and considered that DNA middle school students have stolen the said crowdfunding through CCTV installed in the store. On March 2012, the Defendant displayed the CCTV screen to the DNA middle school students who visited the Defendant’s store, with the intention to verify the identity of the student who stolen the crowdfunding in the Defendant’s store.
