She noticed the white Pontiac Sunfire. It was parked next to the dumpster. It was parked straight. She walked around the vehicle to obtain TAG number and look for a note from owner on Saturday, June 28th.
 She did not touch vehicle. She looked inside and it was messy. There was a blanket in back seat.  She did not try door handles.  She called Orlando non emergency to report the car as abandoned. It was the policy of store to call police and check to see if car was stolen before calling for a tow of vehicle. She called compliance officer and was told to wait one more day. On Sunday she was off. She returned on Monday , June 30th and the vehicle was still there. She called the tow company, Johnson's towing is their provider. Thse car had not been moved in 3 days. She never saw anyone near car. She did not assist with tow.  She saw Jonhson's tow the car. On June 28th, when she checked for TAG there was no smell. The next day there was a smell but she attributed it to the dumpster. It was as it usually smells in that area. Amscott has a surveillance camera. It is not managed by branch level. It is handled by corporate office.
Baez cross.  He questions about cameras at Amscott.  The are several camera's.  Sheh is not aware of placement of camera's. There are cameras placed for her security. The cams are visible to public and sometimes act as deterrant. There are gas stations in walking distance. On June 28th, she smelled what she presumed as "trash." No more questions.
Prosecution asks if the trash she smelled was presumed in the dumpster.
Defense.it smelled like regular trash. "yes" per witness. Excused.
