I cannot imagine stealing from an employer like that... $155,000 worth of screws?!?  May I say "what the f*ck?"  How did no one at the company notice that?


Nice title, by the way.  ;)

Someone got fired for stealing a box of toilet paper where I work.  Ya know - the cheap rough kind?!!   ::)

Screws and toilet paper - doesn't make sense...

How the hell did he transport it all out? That's got to be at least 100 pounds of stuff right there.

It seems to me that he was very, very methodical. I would also guess that his core reason for stealing all those screws was something far deeper in his mind than a desire for profit. Actually, I bet he just liked the novelty of the pun that would (and did) surely appear when he was arrested.
