Precious things
Don't be so precious little dears.
Theft is theft, wherever and whatever. We are discussing here searches of crew for alleged theft from aircraft. Nothing more, nothing less. If you want to vent your collective spleen about management and office staff stealing their employers material, do it elsewhere.
For the record and the uninformed, I am told that ground staff do work under a policy of no private phone calls, no private internet use, no stealing AND random bag searches. They are also reviewed for Staff Travel breaches. Don't think crew are being victimised - they are not.
Tow truck writes about long lunches and wandering around the office doing nothing. Is this theft the same as hanging around gallies etc, (for example, ignoring pax call buttons) instead of patrolling the cabin attending to customers needs?
