EMC Engineer Steals Almost $1 Million of Kit One Piece at a Time

...of a tale my dad used to tell me when I was young.
I don't know the full details, so it could be made up, the details could be wrong or it might have actually been like a TV show or something, but anyhoo.
A guy who worked in a factory would leave every day with a wheelbarrow full of rubbish. One of his bosses was sure he was stealing something, so every now and then he'd search the wheelbarrow and come up dry - rubbish, rubbish and more rubbish. The manager got so frustrated, he started searching every single day and still found nothing.
Eventually, the guy figured out what he was stealing - wheelbarrows.
