Should I try to leave and join a different company? Should I stick around and ride this out? I'm lost on what I should be doing.

(Yes, there is documentation of what he is doing with the rentals. In fact, he did it to one of the guards at my current site. So we, the other guards, have been taking great care in carefully using the rental car so as to not send the other guard's credit in the toilet.)
