Back in 1973, I worked as a maintenance guy at JC Penney when in college. My boss said to me, after I mentioned how an employee could easily steal stuff a certain way, finally said, “Why do you come up with so many ways to rip off the company.”

My response, “Maybe I should be in security.”

:-)

I actually did successfully steal something of significant value when I worked at Jafco back in the mid-1970’s. I took it back. I really learned a lot that day. Talk about conviction!

To this day what I learned is this: Whenever someone steals, the only REAL victim in the long run is the person who does the stealing. If you don’t repent, it changes you. and not in the good way, and not in a way that will improve your life. Quite the opposite.

And yes, that Jafco one was a quite convoluted scheme. It was sort of a “catch me if you can” (the movie) sort of thing.

Come to think of it, didn’t that guy start a security company?
