If there any legal concerns. You shouldn't be speaking to him in the first place. That should be handled any HR you have. And if the theft is serious enough. Let a attorney handle it.
You're making it more complicated than it is. Are you in a at-will state?

I meant he wasn't afforded the respect to see it face to face. Firing him over the phone doesn't give him a chance to look his accuser in the face and defend himself. It's cowardly.
In an entirely different scope, I like to do my interviews face to face because I like to establish a rapport with the associates I am interviewing. Did you interview the associate for the job over the phone, or face to face? To hire that associate, as the hiring employee, you wanted that respect, why can't the hired get that same respect when being fired?
As far as my job goes: I am an Investigator for Loss Prevention for my company. My job is to interview associates who were caught stealing to determine the amount of loss they caused and who else may be causing it. I am well trained in the legal boundaries of what my job entails and I make sure to never overstep those boundaries, but thanks.
You must be a lawyer.
