this happened in my company too. the other crew bacame suspicious and like 99.99% of decent crew members reported her. were the police called? no indeed. this person was allowed to take voluntary redundancy and got a nice big golden handshake for her troubles. dispicable individual and a dispicably cowardly display of treatment by airline management.
we are all very careful of our handling of this money, it is collected in special sealable bags by 2 cabin crew, placed into a locked and sealed container until return to base and then deposited in the bank by 2 other crew members. stealing is disgusting in any form but i agree with domestos, this is even more disgusting as its taking money and shelter from the mouths of the most ill and deprived children in the world. the wheel turns, maybe slowly, but in the end karma will always catch up with you.
