Some of the smaller hogwons can't be bothered to buy ANYTHING. At one hogwon I worked at I ended up supplying them with band-aids, a first aid kit, and photocopy paper with money from my own pocket. If I didn't, we wouldn't have had them at all.

I was amazed I was able to get my severance and airfare from that skinflint (and it did take some tooth pulling).

I worked at the school cafeteria in college doing inventory and computing food cost. I would go back into the freezer and take the frozen cookie dough and eat it. Mmm....cookie dough.

I don't know if this was technically stealing since my boss knew about it.

In high school I stole an entire hockey bag full of computer paper. It was on a game day and we were suppose to keep our equipment in some storage room. I went into the wrong room and upon turning on the light, I found a massive cache of computer paper. I unloaded all my equipment, stocked up, then made a trip to the parking lot where I put it in the trunk.

I still haven't bought computer paper since. That was seven years ago.

Money. And lots of it. I managed a bottle exchange. It's the type of business where the customer gives you money. We had to keep a tally on the number of bottles and cases of beer and it was entered into the cash register. Ha, ha, ha. Then, after I quit, I went after the owner for over a year of OT not paid and settled with him on an amount.

Don't mean to brag...but I was a pretty prolific lifter in my day. Did it thousands of time...never caught. Retail stores were my specialty...anything and everything. Part of the reason is that a lot of the time I was without a great deal of money. I was either a poor University student, unemployed or working at some shit job that didn't pay well. So, you gotta find a way to survive and lifting was the way. I worked at a casino and stole cash from it. I figured out a way to manipulate the computer to delete certain account numbers AFTER they had been registered in the system. Getting the money physically was the biggest problem since casinos have cameras everywhere. But I managed to find a blind spot down this cooridor and that is where the physical transfer took place. It was a nice scheme that I milked for awhile. Could have gotten more money but I wasn't greedy and mainted a sort of status quo which helped to ensure that the scheme could continue indefinitely. I feel no guilt about my past transgressions because it was a matter of personal circumstance and besides, *beep* all the rich, greedy corporations that stick it to the average guy. Ha-Ha. Shoplifting is liking punching someone in the dark(got that from the Simpsons).

Those days are long over. Don't need to steal when you make decent money and besides, as some posters have said, there just ain't much that is really worth taking. So, I guess that I've been reformed for the past few years. Of course, when I go back home...maybe there will be a recurrence.... Twisted Evil

Embezzlement. Gotta love it. Smile

Plays games with your head though. People start noticing and then saying things. Once your start stealing, you eventually start stealing more. It's a sickness.

My boss asked me to bring the cash home a few nights. He lived over an hour out of town and was worried about it being in the safe. Took the cash drawer with me on a road trip. Come to think of it, I didn't take too much. He was a crook himself. Always got paid in time because he had lots of money.
