Two for ya...
Pre-Security days: I was working nightshift shipping at a large baking company. As usual I had parked my car inside as it was not a good neighborhood. About an hour after I started working, a guy walks up to me and asks me the way out. I pointed to the door and told him how to get out. He came back a minute later, and asked me again. I took him to the door myself, and opened it for him. I had noticed he had some items in his hand, but I didn't think much of it, him being the homeless type and all. 7am the next morning I discovered it was my car stereo and speakers he had had in his hand - AND I LET HIM OUT!!!
Security: We had had a garbage truck come onto the property, the kind that empty dumpsters. We have only one roadway around the property, and you have to pass under several buildings to drive around the property. His forks had been too high, and he ripped out the sprinkler system under the first building. He waited for his supervisor to arrive, and when the supervisor got there, he noticed the height clearance was 13 feet.
"Is that clearance right?' he asked me
"Yes," I replied
"You sure?" He asked.
"Actually, it's more than thirteen feet," I replied.
He looked at the sprinkler system, and said to me "It looks like someone has put new piping in there recently. I think this may be on you guys."
"It is new piping," I responded, then, pointing at the driver I said "We just replaced it because he ripped it out last month!"
The supervisor didn't want to talk to me after that, and the damge was paid for within a week!
