My dad, his partners and their family members gave themselves the privilege of refueling their personal automobiles at the "company gas pump." We abided by a strict rule, however. Immediately following the refueling process, the family member was to walk directly to a log book and jot down the quantity of gasoline he had just pumped into a personal vehicle.

My dad knew that if employees saw owners taking advantage of the system; that is, pumping gasoline in a personal vehicle and failing to pay for it, that employees would feel as they were entitled to the same privilege.

a large corporation, we employed a former FBI agent; his name was Tom Dyer. Dyer was a world-class security expert who provided security services to our customers who had perhaps experienced an inventory shortfall they couldn't explain or some other type of internal theft. It was Dyer's job to find the culprit.

Dyer was a master interviewer. It was always amazing to me how quickly and effectively he could persuade the guilty party to confess his or her dishonesty.

On numerous occasions Dyer would tell me that employees who had just confessed would make statements like these as their excuse for stealing:

"Yeah, I stole gas for my personal car, but why shouldn't I? I must have seen the owner's son do it a hundred times."

"Yes, I took material out of stock and delivered it to my personal home. But why shouldn't I? I know for a fact that the owner built his entire house out of company inventory he never paid for. How do I know? He used to brag about it."
