Yeah, I'm sure this has got to be tough. Maybe video of the vehicle leaving the lot?

I would think a smart manager would find a way to get the word out that the coats need to materialize immediately and then find a way to step out of the area so they could re-appear without blame or fault. Later, a quiet word might help prevent this in the future.
