As a manager you are charged with maintaining the business you are in. Your friend has breached the terms of his employment and you have a duty to report him to the appropriate authority or to demand he return or pay for the merchandise. This would be followed by his firing or resignation dependant on the route your friend decides to take. Your contract is with your employer not your friend and as such should be honored.
