Stealing Office Supplies on the Job is a Serious Offense

I often have seen coworkers waltz over to the supply cabinet, take pens, pencils or whatever, and walk right out the door with them. Just because you are an employee of a company does not give you any special rights to go ahead and steal from your workplace. I doesn't matter if you are a newbie or a seasoned veteran. It is just wrong.

Take this story for example, Veteran OPP officer faces theft charges. This man thought he could get away with stealing office supplies and gasoline from his workplace. Unfortunately he was wrong as he got charged with four counts of theft! So just think again when you take supplies for your own personal use from your job.
