Yes, We even Stole from Work under Socialism

So long as there are managers, workers will rob their workplaces—not just for personal gain, but above all to keep alive that which is best in themselves.

My grandpa, an electrician, used to say, that the most important knowledge for his job was the law of Ohm: steal at workplace what you lack at home!

Although the guard never found a thing, he continued to search the worker at the end of each shift—year after year after year. 
Finally, decades later, the man was due to retire. As he pushed his wheelbarrow out for the last time, the guard searched it, then said in despair, “Look, it doesn’t matter anymore, but satisfy my curiosity. We know you are stealing something. Yet every day I search your wheelbarrow and find nothing. How can this be?”

“It’s easy,” shrugged the worker. “I’m stealing wheelbarrows.”
