Nowhere in the article does it say the guy worked at the police station.

He walked in, pried open a drawer, and stole the cash.

So intelligent giant squid then?

First line of the article:

Police say a man who had worked at a western Pennsylvania police department swiped a couple hundred bucks that had been collected for parking tickets.

Now you could argue that he no longer works there, but we cannot tell if that's because of this incident or not.

Yeah, I wondered where that post went...

Ah, I didn't read down that far.

Are you kidding me? You are kidding me, right? The police station is like the best place for stealing money ever. If you're a cop.

Most of the cops i've met in my time are some of the biggest crooks out there. I can't think of a better place to steal from.

I'm sure once they get that 50$ back to the evidence locker they'll have an iron clad case.

In before "good work Lou"

Clearly he lost his parking ticket fight and felt the need to get his money back and then some...to umm..balance out the universe.

No, that's where you store the stolen money from "drug raids" and such. This guy tried to re-steal some, which is a bad idea.

Hell if I was a cop and we busted a big as drug lord with a room full of cash a handfull might go missing.

Pretty much the same thing happened in my town except it was money collected for fingerprint services and not money collected for parking tickets.

I guess civilian RCMP employees don't get the luxury of a 10 day paid suspension and a transfer to a new province.

Same thing in my (former) town, only it involved deputies, guns, radios, and skeevy pawn shops.

Thanks I also came here to say this. The best crooks often steal from the most visible (but least obvious) places.

Go on.

The man made one serious mistake.

You have to be a cop to get away with something like this.

People who steal money from their places of work baffle me. Why would you shiat in the same bed you sleep in?

No, it's a great idea.

Trocadero: No, it's a great idea.

Oh no someone stole the donut funds.

FTA: "Carnegie police Chief Jeff Harbin tells WPXI-TV surveillance footage shows Schwab entering the building then walking out with a bag of loot."

almost positive said bag was over-sized & stenciled '$' on both sides

unless you are on the vice squad, or are a policeman assigned to the evidence room, or intake at the jail, or if you are a patrolman arresting some punk with a couple ounces of weed and fat bill of twenties, or any kind of law enforcement officer imaginable really. then it is a good idea.
