Avman,
As a child I was guilty of the occasional 5 fingered candy bar and inspecting mommy's wallet for wornout dollar bills. As an adult, I'm afraid you must call me a liar, because I can't recall taking anything that didn't belong to me or wasn't offered to me for free. There are no "perks" in my business, I earn a living, I use that money to buy what I want or need. End of story. I will not take your comment about not believing me to heart, since we do not know each other. Your scepticism is understandable in this day, but in my case it is misplaced. My mentor from the time I graduated from college till his death 15 years later taught me what he taught me, I would not be comfortable with myself stealing a pen, a note pad or anything else.
