AGREE, AGREE, AGREE!

IMHO he does not even think of it as stealing, he sees them, they don't cost him anything and he just takes what he wants.

How many of you (me included) have never brought home from work a 3M post it note pad?, a couple of pencils? or some other "small" item you really could not live without, some extra dinner napkins from the restaurant, etc. etc. and have we ever thought how much this must be costing the company from whom we are stealing? There seems to be a little larceny in most of us.
