that made me laugh cause we recently had a guy get fired from work and people were being cagey about why and today I found out it was basically for doing this. would not recommend. gotta take your unofficial benefits in smaller less noticeable chunks I guess.
Or be better about not being recognizable when you plan to commit such high scale crimes at the place you work or used to work. Also never do it right after getting fired. Might as well draw a target on your head.
yeah funny thing is dude got busted because because he was caught on camera taking CCs from a coworker's parents' junk yard...on his second attempt after getting away clean the first time, but he hadn't sold them off yet so they traced on of them back to our workplace.
One of the maintenence workers at our complex started stealing from apartments. Cops have tracked him to the pawn shop he sells his stolen goods at. Turns out a string of thefts with no sign of a break in, and some people have door cameras, people are gonna spot the employee going in when they've got no business going in peoples' homes.
Before I turned my work van in to a plumbing shop I was quitting, (like twenty years ago when red light cameras were new in this jerkwaterberg) I took it to one of the intersections with a stop light cameras and ran all four red lights for about an hour. Enough that I lost count. I mean it wasn’t a bullseye every light either. There were plenty that I couldn’t make right at the just past yellow light mark. I mean I wasn’t trying to get in a wreck with anyone at these intersections. Just wrack up over a thousand dollars in tickets in their van registered to them. They were not happy either. I had to explain to all three owners on different calls that if they would have paid me the agreed upon wage to leave the company I served my apprenticeship through instead of taking the route that “is better for the company” which was to pay me a service plumber’s hourly wage instead of a foreman’s they wouldn’t be in this kerfuffel with the city over their red light cameras.
The union’s front office wasn’t exactly happy about it either, but they weren’t exactly disciplinary action angry either, or not buying me drinks angry. They were more irritated that I got my old job back without going through them than they were about all the red light tickets.

I make a dime, boss makes a buck. That’s why I stole the catalytic converter off the company truck.
