<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Texas John, post: 910736, member: 25813&quot;]Legally, I think taking anything of value from your employer is a form of theft or fraud, even if he doesn&#039;t know the value. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a stamp collector, too, and I&#039;m thinking of the CIA invert, a valuable error stamp, the only examples of which come from a pane of stamps once owned by the CIA. A stamp-collecting employee there noticed the pane after about a dozen stamps from it had already been used, and recognized its potential value. He contrived with his boss and some other employees to replace the stamps with ordinary ones of the same type, keep some and sell the rest. </p><p><br /></p><p>In stamp collecting, the provenance of an error stamp is critical to its value; unless it can be shown to have entered circulation normally, it will probably be defined as &quot;printer&#039;s waste&quot;, and have little value. In the course of verifying the stamps, their source became known to stamp dealers, the press and ultimately the CIA.</p><p><br /></p><p>The CIA demanded the proceeds from the stamp sales and the stamps each employee had kept for himself. They got the money, and the employees who refused to turn in their stamps were fired, this being confirmed as valid by civil service and court hearings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
