Phillip Winger Theft is wrong in all forms. Having said that: many co-workers know about it, but there is a culture of "not wanting to be a snitch." Management usually won't find out about it till an employee has already left the company and then "magically" people come forward about it.

But a more common issue then theft in EMS is negligence and laziness that causes equipment to get damaged or loss.
