To say that he didn’t like his boss was a gross understatement.
The years of working for him had taken its toll. You could say that it had reached a breaking point the day he put his cunning plan into action. The money that was accruing for the firm’s Christmas do was building up. The boss’s secretary kept it in the desk in her office. He had to be careful with the timing of things. It was late afternoon when he saw his opportunity. Opening her desk, he found a plastic beaker with coins and a plain envelope stuffed with notes. He left the change and took the envelope. It contained well over a thousand. Down in the underground carpark he carefully jimmied the boss’s door open and hid the envelope under the passenger seat.
The next day the theft was discovered. There was a hell of a stink, of course, and the police were informed. It was arranged that a detective would attend the scene the following morning. That evening, an anonymous tip was made by phone saying that the general manager had been seen taking something suspicious to his car. The frame-up had gone like clockwork.
Of course, our disgruntled employee had no way of knowing that on the following morning, as arranged, the manager traded his car in for a new model.
Further, needless to say, the man who carried out the detailing of second-hand cars for the car yard regarded it as a bonus!
