A New York City woman lost her job at JPMorgan Chase after she was caught on video stealing a New York Knicks-themed trash can from outside a Manhattan building. The incident, which occurred in early 2026, was reported by The New York Times.
The woman, whose identity has not been publicly disclosed, was seen on surveillance footage taking the trash can from the street. The video was widely shared on social media, leading to her identification and subsequent termination from her position at the bank.
JPMorgan confirmed the firing, stating that the employee's actions violated company policy. The New York Knicks did not comment on the incident. The trash can, valued at approximately $100, was later returned.
