One of the two employees took the 4 wheel cart from store this week. when I asked the morning shift girl said she has no idea, the evening shift girl said she put against the rack in the store. No one else has the key to store beside me the owner. What should I do or ask/test to tell which girl is lying? Please help.

People that are lieing, usually avoid eye-contact, swallow hard, over explain...try to point fingers. Go with gut feeling, kinda watch them.....maybe the real person will shine thru along with whatever is missing. It usually does.

You are in front of two management situations; either you want to know for just the sake of avoiding this to happen again or you want to know who is lying to add on your knowledge about your employees! If you really care about knowing who is the liar you should set some kind of a trap which would give you more clues about who did it next time this might happen.
If you really do not care much about who is lying for the sake of keeping your area of charge well protected then simply make a wide note to everyone read about what kind of consequences engage such an act!

I don't think you have enough information, so you should probably just let it go. I do want to disagree with what Jess said, though. Usually when someone is lying they have a tendency to overexplain things. So it's altogether possible that the gal who has "no idea" is being truthful, and the other person made up the story about having put it away to cover herself.

Question the girl who said she put it on the rack she could be saying where she put it or she could have made it up as a plan...In the end go with you gut!

Hand writing analysis. It's fairly easy to learn, go to your local library and see if they have any books on it. If not you could have an expert analyze their hand writing. You should sit the two girls down and ask them to write, "I did not take the 4 wheel cart". By their handwriting you will be able to tell who's lying. It may cost you a couple hundred bucks to hire the expert but in the long run its worth it. If they stole once, no doubt they'll do it again.

Body language and eye contact can lead you to the right conclusion.

If I were in charge, I would look with suspicion on the one who says she has no idea. The other is giving you details of when she last saw it while the other appears to be vague with "no idea". No idea of what?
