'If he says it's his, it's his': Boss insists on giving away 'lost & found' items to whomever claims them, until a thieving regular takes something that's hers
Kleptomaniacs come in many forms. Bank robbers, snatch-and-grabbers, check-out chocolate bar thieves, and public transit backpack rummagers are all some form of thieving-obsessed klepto. Although most klepto's dream of being a bank robber like in the movies, nobody has the stones or the brains to pull a job that big, so instead, they head over to their local library to get their thieving fix. In this case, OP was a library volunteer and had seen his fair share of dirt bags coming through the library to take advantage of the AC and free books, but his latest foe took the cake (and the entire lost and found section).
Usually the library would store the lost and found box underneath the desk and everyone that lost something would be required to describe the item before getting it back on good faith. However, the new manager, a tyrannical, stubborn boss, thought that the lost and found box was cluttering underneath the desk, so she displayed it in plain view on top of the check out area. Almost immediately, a serial kleptomaniac named Jim would simply claim the entire box. That glittering pink onesie? That was his. The baby binky? That's his too. Everything lost went straight into Jim's pocket. In one clean sweep, Jim regularly stole the random lost items of the library.
OP and the rest of the staff new this was BS, but their boss turned a blind eye until the day that her own belongings were effected. Scroll for the full tale of stolen stuffies, angry librarians, and a bad case of kleptomania. For more thoughts that'll tickle your noggin, check out this week's top shower thoughts.
