[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 405919, member: 12570"] We had an employee fired several years ago when most of our P/U accounts were still on the manual system with the book. He wanted to return a personal item to the shipper so he "borrowed" a tracking label from the P/U book of one of his shippers and affixed it to the pkg and sent it on its way. 99 44/100% of the time it would not have been an issue and he would not have been caught but the pkg was damaged along the way and returned to the shipper whose tracking label had been used. This guy lost an $80K job over an $18 shipping bill. We had another who had a gambling problem who "misplaced" $1,600 in COD money (yes, this was a while ago as we were still accepting cash at the time, so pre-1998). He was promptly fired and had to repay the money. I'd be willing to "bet" (pun intended) that he won't do that again. My point is it's not the worth of the item that you took or services that you misused it is the simple act of stealing, whether it be goods or services. You sound like an otherwise decent person who perhaps had a lapse of judgement. You have responsibilities in your life which are far more important than a new cell phone. (Be honest, no one steals just the case). Chalk this up to a lesson learned and move on. [/QUOTE]
