They should establish strong internal controls like segregation of duties, sequentially numbering the rolls, sign in and out logs, comparison reports can also help. These controls tells the would-be TP embezzler that management means business. If that works, then maybe use some controls for the Rec Fund.

I had to work Christmas Day and everything was closed and I knew I was out at home. I felt so guilty that I made full restitution the next business day. No authorities were involved.<br /><br />The trick to stealing from your employer is to return it before anyone notices.
