An unnamed employee of a local business stayed well after closing time on Tuesday to partake in what he called 'school supply shopping' which had been planned for nearly two weeks prior to the event.
The employee, a 2 year veteran of the company was looked at suspiciously by fellow staff members as he maintained the unlikely story of working late to catch up on some projects that required some extra, after-hours time and effort. Although not believed by a single co-worker, he was eventually left alone in the office promising to lock up after his supposed marathon work day had come to an end later in the evening.
At approximately 5:39pm, a quick survey of the parking lot and precursory scan of the building interior confirmed that he was finally by himself and free to begin what would turn out to be 28 minutes of unsupervised 'shopping' in the company's supply closet. Among the liberated items were 18 pencils, 5 rolls of scotch tape, 4 staplers, 6 staple removers, 5 reams of copy paper, 1 case of white out, 4 cases of bottled water, 22 company-themed mouse pads, 8 boxes of red ball point pens, one brown Sharpie and at least one three-hole punch. His plans for the supplies remains unknown, but the nature and quantity of the items liberated from the closet suggests a high potential for either Ebay or that he suffers from a potentially raging and undiagnosed case of kleptomania.
After the spree, the employee hastily pulled his car around back and quickly loaded the items into the trunk. Scanning the nearby side streets for traffic. He then sped off down an adjacent alley after forgetting to set the building's security alarm.
