I highly doubt the well-paid professionals are doing the stealing. Its probably the maintenance people or something.

Eh, there are people with poor character from all walks of life.

That's for sure. The cleaning crew always gets pointed at first when you can be sure they know better than to risk their job by doing something that stupid.

The asshats who can afford your crap will take it just as fast.

Why aren't you carrying your wallet with you?

I usually put it into my purse or backpack at work. Sometimes I accidentally leave it half-out. The reason I do this is because I sit for hours at a time in my seat at work, and want to feel comfortable. Like right now, as I'm typing this, my wallet is in my pocket (about to go for lunch) and my ass is being elevated an inch; not very comfortable.

Oh, and I stole the stapler from the copy room today. I gave them my busted one back though.

Edit: Forgot to say that I'm usually one of the lowliest employees at any workplace. If anyone had to steal from someone who probably made significantly less than the majority of everyone else, then he or she would deserve a beating.

1 inch wallet... Why do you need so many cards in your wallet?

Nothing wrong with a man-purse

 

[AmberClad]

That's not a purse! Those are called messenger bags 😛.

Do you call what your mailman totes around with your mail inside a "purse"?

Because girl jeans suck as far as pockets go; no way to carry anything practical on you. So unless I want to add a purse to the laptop and cable I perpetually lug around at work, the wallet stays zipped in the backpack at my desk.

I was hoping that cleaning might find it someplace last night and turn it in but no luck. 🙁 Time to cancel everything. No charges came in on either of the cards.

You're a girl!!!
Oh, hi. 😉 Nice shoes.

Meh, I know girls who carry bags almost as large with slightly shorter straps and they call it a purse.

 

[AmberClad]

If I can stick a laptop or a textbook into it, it ceases to be eligible to be called a purse at that point :laugh:. IMO. It's just a "bag" or a "tote" at that point, depending on how it's designed, how it closes, etc.

We had a contractor walk off with a brand new HP desktop. It wasn't mine, but I was in charge of the shipment.

His contract wasn't getting re-upped so I think he probably just said what the hell.

Other than that, no I've never had anything stolen. There's only a handful of people that have badge access to access my office, so I feel pretty safe.

Never understood this. Coworker kept his wallet in his locked briefcase. WTF good is that when someone can just take the damn briefcase. Of course it was sitting right next to a set of unmovable, lockable drawers.

I finally got him to lock his wallet in a drawer by taking his briefcase one day. He learned his lesson.

If the drawers are unmovable, how would one open them to place a wallet inside?

why not keep your wallet in your pocket like a real man?

Heh, he has a Costanza wallet. Not sure it would even fit in a pocket.

Technically, all that was implied was that AreaCode707 wears girl jeans. That doesn't necessarily mean that AreaCode707 is a girl. 😛

That's not quite as bad as moving in to a new home, thinking you have ghosts, finding things moved around, doors and cabinets open that you know you had closed, then waking up one morning to find that someone had pried the side door of your garage open and had been coming and going for a while all while trying to cover his tracks. He was coming in and taking my tools. Stole almost $1,000 worth of stuff before I figured it out.

I also have suspicions that he was in the house while I was home. But I did not get up to check it out, because I thought I was loosing my mind.

I worked in a large office/factory the next town over from a very ghetto town (Pontiac MI).
We had a number of wallets stolen from purses and other items stolen (cell phones etc.).

We busted a lady who would tailgate people in and go on a mini crime spree. She was well dressed and we had over 1000 people working so she blended in but we noticed her via video surveillance.

At the company we had at least a dozen laptops stolen from the cleaning crew. We ended firing one company.

Dude my leatherman was stolen a while back. I'd cut a bitch, but I'd probably use my leatherman to cut a bitch. So that's out.

Cool! I wondered where she went.

 

[AreaCode707]

So my wallet and stuff was returned to my old desk today, no note or identifying info, everything present. Weird...

Yes Amber. I tried calling it a European carry all, messenger bag, shoulder bag and even man purse, but who are we kidding?

It has one strap, goes on one shoulder, carries all of my 'shit', and I take it everywhere I go. It ain't leather though.
