Depends really on what your bosses are like. If there someone is overly inquisitive and shrewd when it comes to money then I wouldn't even bother.

Truth - audits account for every cent and when there is money missing lots of questions are asked.

Honesty is always the best policy - not for honesty's sake, alone, but for the fact that you will get caught and fucked over, especially anymore since accounting is all kept in order by a computer system, most likely. Unless you work in some Mom & Pop General Store in rural Bumfuckia, you are going to be caught.

My morals tell me you should return it, and that's what I would probably do as well.

My experience tells me that returning it or not will make no difference, your good deed will not be noticed or cared for, and you'll probably end up losing your job in a month. It happened to me a million times before.

Originally posted by Ygrene I once saw Swamper peel off 4 or 5 $100 bills from a fat roll and say this to Donald Trump: "Go clean yourself up; you look like a bum.". And then he threw the bills right in Trump's face/hair! Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

Are you out of your mind? Give the money back asap, what the fuck would make you think of keeping it? If they do an audit and I'm sure they will , you're fucked. If they want to they will not only fire you, but you might get sued or it might go on your record. I've worked for 5 different companies/corporations since I was 18 and I never once left any of them on bad terms and built up my good name so I have something impressive on my resume just in case there are unfortunate cutbacks or layoffs. If you decide to return it, I'm sure they're going to ask you why you hesitated and this is the time where you pick up a pen and paper, and before you start thinking of a good explanation, I think you should run into a wall head first.

What is the actual question here?
Whether you can steal the money, or whether you should steal it?

Answer in short: If you can, you should!

That's a risky word.
