<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 266859, member: 36"]Even if these were stolen 30/40 years ago, the statute of limitations ran out on them so long ago that no one cares. If returned to the company they'd just discard them again anyway as superannuated and unneeded. My late dad brought home odds and ends from his job at a public utility. They were all discards, things headed to the skip/tip/garbage can because they'd been replaced with newer versions. The company didn't want it back, and in fact wanted to see the back of it. That included everything from old letterhead to rolls of scotch tape to four pound bolts that didn't meet quality standards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
