This brough back vivid memories from things that have happened in my own area.

In one case a woman (she actually was my neighbor who lived in the next building) was stealing from her employer (this big company in town) and she used the money to fund her and her boyfriends drug habit.

The second case was in another town in my state... this woman worked for the board of education. Her job was to write the checks for all the school supplies, to pay all the non-teacher school staff (cafateria workers, janitors, teachers aides, etc..) and to also send the retirement checks to the retired teachers.

She stole a LOT of money ($450,000) and spent it all at the casinos because she was addicted to gambling.

In both cases, the women went to jail for over 2 years... and in both cases the company and the board of education we not able to get any of their money back because it was long gone.

It's so sad.
