My Dad was a plant baw and one of his younger co workers took a couple of grinding wheels that the plant would have lended him if he requested it.

Well, they caught him leaving with the plants property and promptly was fired. Lost a _________/year job (plant baws fill in the blank) over .50 cents worth of grinding wheels.

I have a similar story with a different outcome.

My Pops was also a plant baw. A coworker of his was caught on camera loading a bunch of shite into the trunk of his car. Plant security saw it on camera, called police, and ended up searching his vehicle. They found the stuff and fired him on the spot.

The catch? He never left the plant premises. Therefore, he never "stole" anything. Just under two years later and the company had to reinstate him, pay his back pay, settle up on what vacation and other leave he had, reinstate his full retirement and health benefits, and let him retire in good standing.

The plant learned a valuable lesson with that one.
