Sunday

Guards were on the look out for people stealing parts.
So a guy is leaving the plant with an empty wheelbarrow.
Guard says: "OK, no parts inside, good afternoon."
He did this for weeks until someone realized:

He was stealing wheelbarrows.

Not accusing this guy of stealing parts.

I am sure I read a story some time back about a guy who stole parts to build an entire plane.

The "short term memory" search engines only reported a 2024 misdemeanor.
