Surprising how common it is. The first hardware I ever designed on the job was a device to detect employee theft.

I'm not in the least surprised. People steal from businesses routinely, it's all part of the anti-business mentality.

Case in point - one time the cash machine on the bank exterior disbursed an extra 20 to me. I counted it carefully, sure enough, an extra one. So I went around to the other side, went in, and handed it to the teller with an explanation. She about fell over in shock.

It's kinda sad, actually.
