There's a clear duty to report the latter, to my mind.

I agree. Everybody has used a phone, or used the Internet to make an appointment, AND, I know that some of those newsgroups still exist because they send out emails--and so employees aren't busted looking at forums, rather than diligently sitting over their computers "working on email."
But that is a far cry from walking off with a laptop, or a TV. Wasn't it reported that Amazon was actually pretty horrified, when they discovered the sheer extent of the theft? I mean,
reliably reported*, in court documents? It wasn't petty pilfering (the occasional office supplies) but fairly massive? Or am I imagining this?
