Employee Theft

Theft from the Houston Independent School District (HISD):

"Houston school employees failed to ask enough questions and follow proper procedures while a secretary systematically stole almost $150,000 over a year before anyone noticed, an internal investigation found.

'Obviously, we would like to have caught it a little sooner,' district spokesman Terry Abbott said. 'But the fact is, we did catch it; we did stop it.'

What is going on out there? Do people really think they can get away with it? Why even try? It is more trouble to steal than actually *work* for it. Really.
