I should clarify that my previous email referred to sneaking stuff out of the stock room for legitimate company purposes and just not bothering to update the stock lists because it's a pain in the bum and we're all a bit lazy about filling forms and ticking boxes. I.e. not pilfery / theft. If there is a theft problem, that is an entirely different situation which required legal and/or professional HR advice. At the very least, you will need formal procedures in place to handle asset theft, as in the event of people being found out, it will normally mean dismissal if not criminal proceedings. Nick
