Not an educator so take this with a grain of salt, but I think the "merit pay" in the third story is about appearances to higher-ups. If the VP has less incidents involving misbehaving students, the better he/she appears to his/her boss/ the school board, likely resulting in salary bonuses. What's the best (illegal) way to appear to have few incidents? Delete the records!

The log thing is either an urban legend or a common tactic used by homesteaders. My great grandma told me this story, and it is possibly better than the one in the video, as my grandma saw the aftermath. My great great grandfather (my great grandma’s father) had noticed that their firewood was disappearing. So, he did a similar thing, putting black powder in a log, putting a small mark on every log he drilled, and told the family not to burn those logs, but not why. My great grandma was walking home from school when she noticed black smoke coming from the neighbors house. She ran over to help, and their stove had exploded. The door was flung all the way across the room, and the riveted joints were bulking out in some places. Hot coals were all over, and they had to douse everything in the room with water to keep the house from burning. But the best part is that they had gotten electricity 2 years earlier, and the neighbors had just saved up to buy an radio only a few months earlier. Guess where they had put it? Right next to the stove. It was ruined by water. My great grandmother said her dad felt kind of bad, but he figured if they hadn’t been stealing, then they wouldn’t have lost their $50 radio, which according to an inflation calculator, is about $1000 dollars! Anyway, no one is going to read this, but figured I would share.

Merit pay (for people in high up positions at schools) is basically more money in your paycheck for how yo ur school looks overall. Essentially, the school board/district or whatever looks at all of that (like an audit) and give you money according to how good your school looks. So the VP was deleting all records because it made him look bad, which made the school look bad, which would decrease his merit pay at the end of the year.

Some 10 years ago, I had several cords of firewood in the back yard (no fences). I noticed the stack was starting to shrink as the weather turned cold. It wasn't us using any wood either. I suspected who was responsible. A grumpy neighbor at the end of the street. I got some mesquite logs from a friend and put them on the end of the woodpile that had been shrinking. Now, you never ever use mesquite in a fireplace. It burns way to hot (fires of hell category). Sure enough, a few days later, all of the mesquite was gone. Sometime later I heard the fire engines come down the street. Seems that he had a a major chimney fire undoubtedly due to excessive creosote built up (he never had it cleaned). The mesquite was just hot enough to set it off.

In the.late 70s, I used exactly the same technique to deal with a wood thief.i knew who it was but I thought he needed a bit more than just a talking-to. I picked several choice logs, drilled each and filled each with a pound of FFFF (the fastest burning) black powder. I plugged the holes with plugs made from limbs of rhe same tree. I coated the end with nitric acid to give it an old, aged appearance. A couple of weeks went by. The loaded wood disappeared. One night, a large explosion ripped through our little community. I looked out and saw a large cloud of white smoke rising from behind the A-frame. He had the type of stove protruded through the wall with most of it being outside. I walked down to his place to look things over. The stove was peeled open and laying on the ground. I looked through to the door at the inside. It was wrecked and the place was filled with thick white smoke. It was difficult to suppress a grin as I walked back to my place. A couple of years later, they burned the cabin for the insurance, got caught and he spent several years in prison.

I did the second story in miniature. Working as a nurse's aide about 50 years ago, we had a small locker room, with lockers big enough for a purse. No one locked their locker. Some of the aides noticed cigarettes going missing from their purses. When a patient checked out and left a pack with a few cigarettes in it in the bedside table, I was inspired. I took one cigarette, removed an inch of tobacco, put in a few match heads, and replaced some tobacco. The cigarette was returned to the pack, where it would be the first one picked. I put it in my locker. Came back 2 days later, and there was one cigarette missing. Didn't hear any more complaints.

I’ve talked to the Dean about this at my school during a trip. For certain schools you are promoted and your pay is increased (given a bonus) based on the behavior of your students. If bad behavior increases through the year you get less of a bonus if bad behavior is goes down your bonus increases. Other schools don’t really have a Dean who deals with these issue so I would assume the VP would assume this position

My dad used to teach at a middle school several yrs ago. He taught math, and many students (the majority sadly) were belligerent, always tardy, and/or never turned in assignments. One of his students even got so pissed that he was giving him a failing grade that he threw a full soda can at his head during lunch hour. Despite this, the principal went to my dad and said he needed to "find a way" to bring their grades up. My dad said if they don't put in the effort and time to do the work he doesn't think they deserve it because it diminishes the hard work from his other students if he were to just hand out passing grades. It turns out the school gets more funding from the state if they have better performance relating to teacher's performance, test scores, and attendance. My dad was furious. As the school year was nearly over, he said he'd finish out the year, and then promptly told the principal to eff off and find a new math teacher for the next year. so, yeah that stuff is pretty commonplace.

It's risking a lot to look forward to anyone getting a penny out of the old cow. Better at least to ensure she can't enjoy it herself, put her into a position where she might need to depend on others. Then she might discover what she should have invested in her human relationships all those years. That's priceless. The only downside is her nieces and daughters are much better people than the aunt was, and might actually want to help her. I wouldn't do it. At least, they should make sure she suffers, and insist that if they did offer help, she'd have to apologise properly. And make up for all the needless cuntery, just a few humiliating dances and the like would have helped a lot with that. It wouldn't do her any harm, and make plain the point that you don't get to keep your conceited nastiness intact when you're begging for actual needs. Call her bluff on it, til it's finally hit her hard enough that she realises how awful she was. Or else til she decides, in her denial, that her nieces are just being meanies for no reason. In which case she's incapable of learning, and should be melted down into toasters, the human race having no use for her. You should always be kind to those in need, but if they've acted abominably and aren't willing to say sorry, really, truly, fuck 'em.

You mentioned at the end of Karen’s story about how it seemed slightly unreasonable. Rest assured, people are as bad as VP! Schools in the UK are paid every day, for each student. We have a morning register and an afternoon register. If the kid is there for the full day, the school gets paid in full. If not, they’re paid half. This made the receptionists at school super stingy, to the point where you’d have to have broken bones for them to send you home/to the hospital. In Year 7, I was bullied badly. To the point where these two boys, three years older than me, repeatedly slammed their hands into my ears one day. I burst out crying, but I was not sent home. When my dad found out, he took me to hospital to find out that many of the follicles in my right ear was damaged. I have now become partially deaf in that ear, and literally I hear like an 80 year old man. I’m not at the point where I’m disabled, but I’m expected to have a hearing aid in the next fifteen years due to my hearing declining. Those two boys were originally suspended, and dad flipped. He involved the police and one of the boys was sent to juvie, while the other was expelled. School didn’t want to expel them, because that meant they’d get less money. However my dad was pressing for a law suit if it didn’t happen. So yes, people can be that awful. Schools no longer prioritise the education and wellbeing of students, but instead their pay checks.

It’s amazing to me that as humans, we don’t seem to be learning that no reported issue does not equal adequate quality. Performance-based incentives need to be more human centric and less based on pointless metrics. Going to school every day doesn’t mean they’re getting a good education, or learning in a safe environment. Attendance, while important, should be factored in on a case-by-case basis instead of being looked at as a sum total of days where school is attended by the students.

As someone who lived something like that kid Xavier's life growing up (divorced parents before school, IEP, etc.), that VP was doing him a massive disservice teaching him that acting out in class was a free pass to hang out with the cool candy guy. Good on Karen for being so thorough and making sure Xavier got the education he deserves (up to and including a proper reprimand). We don't deserve teachers, IMO.

One of my high school counselors got named counselor of the year for California or BS. Part of this was because he “encouraged” underperforming kids to transfer to the “alternative” school or to just drop out. Therefore his case load looked squeaky clean as if he did such a great job helping his students. Sh*t like this is how faculty and admins get great pay in merit based pay scales.

You can't assume that the father will pass the money on to his kids from his first marriage. This situation is pretty much identical to my ex-wife's family. Her father re-married, as a younger man is likely to do, and said he would only provide a token sum to his ex- in his will. He then went on to have a son by his second wife. Likely in the story any money he had would go to the new wife and younger son, as men usually pre-decease their wives (although I pray to outlive my ex-). You just never know when 2 familes having the same father are involved.

The Vice Principal also knows that the school would have to address the kid’s behavioral problems (he was already a special ed student), which would likely entail more services, more specialists, possibly placement in an alternative school, and much greater costs to the school system. So he could be hiding problems to keep costs down, knowing the problem will belong to someone else in a couple of years.

I did something similar, with gas. Lived in far northern Canada and basic mode of local transportation was snowmobiles. I always kept about 8 gas containers outside my house, filled and all chained together for security. But I was missing gas. Made me mad, because in the north you do not steal from anyone. Had they asked I would have gladly given it to them no problems. So I noticed the end gas can was the main can always emptied of gas. So in that one I put a pound of sugar into the gas. Just 3 days later my boss called me over to look at his truck, as it stopped working. It was the sugar gas. He had put it into his truck and his snowmobile. Both wrecked. I told him it looked like somebody had put sugar in his gas, and maybe he should call the cops. He looked at me quietly for a long time. Finally he said he would not, as he thought the thief would stop stealing, and he was sure the thief was sorry for having stolen the gas with sugar. Went home and laughed for a long time.

The log story has been around a while. I first heard it over 40 years ago concerning river boats on the Murray River in the 1800s. The idea was that wood cutters would leave logs by the river with their name on the pile. The river boat captains would fuel and pay next time they were in the town. All except 1 who decided not to pay. An honour system only works when people are honourable. So the word went out that captains should leave one particular wood pile alone. Sure enough the pile disappeared and shortly after, the renegades boiler blew up.

Wtf that is the law defending those who break it and not those who comply.

School teacher here: the vice principal (or principals in larger schools) is typically the disciplinarian. The principal themself is typically not the one to discipline students directly except in certain circumstances. Just like how teachers are looked upon more favourably and are given raises based on the pass/fail rate of their classes, the VPs can be looked upon more or less favourably if they have "repeat offenders." I would imagine this was in a larger school, as vice principals in that case are usually divided among grade level. If your grade performs and behaves poorly, it comes back to the administrator moreso than the teachers' abilities to control the students. In addition, after so many disciplinary referrals, students are likely suspended and expelled based on the school's rules. The more suspensions and expulsions a particular administrator (especially one that serves as a disciplinarian) has to perform, the less favourably they are looked upon and their pay could potentially be affected by it. Edit: a lot of this also depends in district standards, city/county/state codes and laws, and even national laws depending on where this occured. My experience is coming from an American State where educators are typically seen as "scapegoats."

it’s even further broken down if it’s an urban school: Principal is the CEO and oversees budgets, hiring, retention, curriculum planning. VP is usually the day to day operations manager who oversees the students’ discipline once they reach a certain point of being a problem and is the go-to for parents before escalating to the principal. Below the VP are the deans, whose jobs were to oversee x number of students and dish small discipline(detentions, in-school suspensions) and handle attendance issues. the principal would only get involved if it was an expulsion level offense as they are the ones that school boards go to for answers when students appeal suspensions and expulsions. students know to steer clear of the principal and to not be known as it’s not good to be known to the,

I found out later that my son had a very high PIP score and removing him from the school would mean the school would lose its bonus... the more kids with high PIP pulled up the average so they got more money! Complete disregard for my child’s mental health ... NO encouragement for ongoing psychological help! I removed both my children and homeschooled! Son is a computer game content creator (working for a large software company) and daughter is a musician and artist! I’m so happy that I took them out of that poisonous environment.

"so apparently in the early 1900s Americans solved their problems with explosives and gunpowder prinks" Guess not much has changed then.

There’s a family story from my fathers side of the family that supposedly happened in the early part of the Great Depression. Early 30s? My family was in a small Saskatchewan farming community and they had a farm with a few types of stock animals. Horses, pigs, chickens, etc... One early winter day my grandfather went out to feed the animals and discovered one of the hogs was missing. During the Depression this was the worst sort of thing that someone could do, essentially cattle rustling, and could get a thief hung if he were caught and/or cause a family huge financial hardship and even starvation. My grandfather, being a thoughtful man slow to anger, came up with a plan. He told NO-ONE about the loss of the hog. Not even the family. He just kept it to himself. One summer day, about 7 months later, as he was working in the fields, a neighbour was walking by and stopped to chat. After a few minutes of idle gossip the neighbour asked if my grandfather had ever figured out who stole his hog. My grandfather just smiled, looked him in the eye, and said “yup”. Two days later the neighbour had uprooted his family and headed south. Apparently the farming in South Dakota is much better.

A guy who was in my business fraternity while I was at university in my city told this story. He was part of an extended family that farmed fruits and veggies and sold them locally. Their business was well known. At one point they were having melons stolen from the edges of their field, probably local kids. So the family would make an inconspicuous mark on some of the melons nearest to the edge of the field, and inject them with a mild laxative. The mark was so such fruit would not be sold or consumed. They took note when neighbor kids would go missing for a day or two, then reappear after "having the flu". Nothing could be proven, and soon melons stopped being stolen.

If you read this Rslash, THANK YOU. You're voice is soothing and I listen to your videos when I do my school works. It makes me determined to finish it. Like a dude listening to the radio. Keep up the good work!

"Like try to stab another student with a pencil..." Oop. My teachers saved my tail end then! I was homeschooled till highschool, enjoyed being on the family farm and working with and training different animals... Got in, aced the tests to prove I was educated.... And once the guys that didn't grow up with me realized I was a nice looking gal... It began. Sad thing is, Everytime someone "made a move" a childhood friend was behind them saying not to try with me, that they'd regret, to just ask me for a hug or permission to touch etc... First time a teacher caught it, all I felt was a large guy behind me giving me a hug without warning or approval... I was getting a pen out of my bag to get ready for class.. The end of that pen went thru his jeans, and left a nice mark for a few weeks... Not bad, cuz once he cried out I realized who it was and pulled in my auto response so as not to legit stab him with my good pen... Our teacher was halfway to me ready to remove the boy from me... Said teacher was frozen seeing the smart farm girl had reacted so fast and he didn't need to help her. He then asked if he needed to help the guy I stabbed... I even dug out ointment and a bandage from my locker for him... Another time I was switching books (I planned to be a vet- so u can guess how many large books I had.) I felt someone grab my hip and cover my eyes at the same time... Dropped as quick as I could and slammed the book I had over my head. Poor Jake. Or when a guy decided that to flirt with me, he'd steal my food as I ate. Farm girl, advanced classes, plus band and I helped my sister's by pitching softballs at home? I needed my food, I was a stick, but not because I didn't eat much. I warned him. My friends, and my sister's warned him not to try anything, specifically when I was tired as I had auto reactions.. I broke my fork prongs on his hand before I realized what happened. A coach saw, and knew I'd been trying to chase him off- and that I'd been really busy... And hungry to the point of sneaking granola bars during class... He looked me in the eye, and told me to go get a new fork. I swear over my 4 years, those lunch ladies got alot of laughs. They knew what happened everytime I needed a fork. Even told me to keep a spare one just to trade for a clean one in my bag when I'd break them cuz the principal made me start turning in the old fork to get a new one the same day.... He heard of what happened, saw the proof(from recognizing what a fork stab looks like on the kids hands)... And yet my reign of terror continued..

Two boys had knocked her down and then started kicking her, the third was the girl that talked them into it. She didn't defend herself till she was on the ground and realized the teachers weren't coming. She's 6. She already doesn't trust teachers as far as she could throw them when it comes to them controlling the other students. What she got in trouble for the most was on the bus, she had yanked a kid over the back of her seat (she was buckled up to remind her ADHD butt to stay seated) and had him in a choke hold.... Thing is, his seat was two seats behind hers.... So how the heck was he even close enough for her to do that!? She wouldn't stop till he tapped out, which is why she got in trouble cuz the bus driver tried breaking it up finally and my niece wouldn't let go till she knew this kid wouldn't be trying this again. (My fault on the choke hold- my pregnant lil sister was worried about self defense without hurting the baby.... I'm disabled, so she came to me to ask and I showed her some stuff... Apparently my niece saw 0-0') But both times the kids had been reported for bullying her and the one on the bus had been yanking her braids hard enough to make her cry, but the driver did nothing.

My dog is now a mobility assist doggo, SD #2 helped me walk so I didn't have to use a wheelchair for my own safety. My current SD does the same. She grabbed the leather leash that kept me tethered to him so he could help me balance... I nearly broke her wrist when I grabbed it. Store manager is the only reason she got away without bones broken. Had she had time to struggle, I'm sure she would have broken her own wrist- and I wasn't letting go. He took care of her and made sure I was ok... Just yeah.

Back in my school days I was bullied frequently because of my autism. It was torture for years and honestly I still hate the school for allowing it to go on as long as it did. For the most part I just ignored their taunts and general bs until in high school they decided to get physical. They’d shove me kick my stuff across the room and once actually shoved me in the girl’s bathroom (that last action actually got me suspended and was the proverbial nail in the coffin for my patience) I frequently told the teachers and begged them to do something to stop it, but they either didn’t care or didn’t want to bother with the whole thing. After awhile I realized that the teacher’s were absolutely useless and that I’d have to deal with it myself. So I issued a warning to the teachers “either you handle it for me or else I will deal with it myself” you can guess what they did… absolutely nothing, so I was forced to act. Around lunch time the next day they started it up again, kicked my bag across the room and then threw my lunch across the room at the window. As they laughed I finally snapped and proceeded to knock them out with a single punch to each of them, boom they dropped like bags of cement. By the time the teachers arrived I was standing in the middle of a circle with six people knocked unconscious laying at my feet. Believe it or not that was me holding back, way back. Needless to say I was punished with a week long suspension and was nearly expelled but wasn’t because my mom threatened to sue the school for their inaction against my bullies. It would definitely have been a PR nightmare for them had we proceeded. But upon my return I discovered them my former bullies were now utterly terrified of me as was most of the other students. They had seen a brief flash of what I was capable of and were rightfully scared of it. Thing is I’m a pacifist, I hate using violence to solve my problems but don’t mistake it for weakness. I hate that I had to do it but the circumstances forced my hand. I don’t regret my actions that day but I am sad and disappointed that it came to that. Also as a side note: after the incident I basically lost any and all respect and trust for the teachers as was reflected in my final words at graduation, I literally said in the microphone as I was handed my diploma “later a**holes smell my a**” and shot them the bird. My mom and grandma were kinda mad at me but after the hell of dealing with them for 4 years I said that I deserved that moment. They had to agree with that but they were still a little mad about it. Believe it or not I got other stories about how much they sucked but that’s for another day.

I have a profound, deep, nearly irrational hatred of thieves, so I love hearing about them reaping the whirlwind for their crimes!

I was bullied and harassed for nearly the entirety of my schooling. I had got my teachers, my mother, and the one police officer in the school involved. I had even pointed out one instance of harassment on the schools camera system to the VP and low in behold, when trying to get the records for an official report and for my therapist. (The dates and frequency of this happening.) There was nothing. And the VP had the nerve to say he didn't remember any of it! Yet during my time in the school it was always, "it's being handled." And "This is a no bullying school." The thing that makes it worse was it was almost always the same kid. Others had even found out i was reporting him and his friends, and told me to give up cause he was the VPs favorite kid and they'd been told "he can do no wrong". It seriously pisses me off that this crap happens.

yeah, but if they would have died, the story would not have been so entertaining.

About the explosive coal during WWII, the Allies made plans for sabotaging German power plants with explosive coal but the plans were intercepted so they never put it into practice. The plans caused the Germans to become so paranoid about the idea that it slowed the production process significantly because they had to constantly check to make sure the coal was good.

I noticed some firewood disappear a few years ago. I had a mix of cut/split pieces ready to burn, and small logs (maybe 6-8 footers), all from trees in my yard I had to remove. Less than a cord total. On two successive Sundays I noticed a few cut pieces had been taken. I moved the remaining cut pieces inside the garage, leaving the logs. I put sign on the small log pile saying "I'd have given you the wood if you'd just asked, but since you prefer to steal you can cut it yourself." None of the logs we're ever taken. The culprit next door only leased the house for a year and then moved...thankfully.

It sounds like the cousins really didn’t need an inheritance, they left the aunt as soon as possible and are doing very well on their own financially.

So, I’ve just gotten a Masters in Art Education. This means I’ve learnt some core teacher tips and have learnt many of the insane rules and regulations that teachers must comply with. A few of these regulations, for NY public schools are, if students are physically acting out (harming another student etc..) and a teacher tries to stop it (as any should) and the teacher gets hurt; all medical bills are forced onto the teacher to bear. In other words the school regulations discourage teachers from physically stoping fights. If said teacher is trying to stop said student from harming another by dragging them apart and the hold is too rough causing any kind of mark/bruising the teacher can be sued. Circumstance does not matter. If one grabs a student it must be with a specific loose hold where the student still retains a lot of mobility, enabling student to still kick, scratch and thrash around. Now I do understand that these rules have a basis in protecting students from teachers/adults physical abuse but they give little in the way of teacher physical security or help. Although ideally fights should be avoided or de-escalated in a school environment (and any environment) that is not always possible and the betrayal a student would feel if they see a teacher standing to the side (because the teacher knows worst case they could get sued, lose their job, get expensive medical bills and even be maimed or die) rather than go to help them as they are ganged up on and beaten or bullied...it’s heart wrenching. The rules should support teachers in doing right rather than leave teachers out to dry.

If your School is a "good one", you get more money. If your School is a "bad one", you get hit by financial Cuts first. Cuts are usually done on Salary and Materials. If a School performs well, it is the Head Staff who gets the praise - in form of Raises or Bonus Payments. "Bad Kids" are for "bad Schools" (..yeah, it makes a lot of sense, I know...), good Kids are visiting "good Schools" - so, Bad Kid = bad School = bad Staff = bad Management. Wonderful bureaucratic Capitalism.

This sounds like legal repercussions for both parties...so really my question is, how many others ever clicked this to see what bs they did to avoid liability for explosive laced logs?

When my mum was about 10 years old, she lived in a small mining town. Wood was going missing around town. One of the blokes put some dynamite into one of his logs. The chimley of one of the local police officers blew up. Nothing was said about it, no more fire wood went missing.

You mentioned op screwed his cousins out of an inheritance by setting up their aunt but from the way she spent money the aunt would likely have just blown through it and left it the cousins with debt anyways soo they probably enjoyed seeing their mother get that sweet karma more, also yes sorta about merit pay my mom is a teacher and she said that generally it looks favorably on the principal and vp if schools don't have behavioral issues too

An inheritance isn’t an entitlement. You can’t be screwed out of something that there was never a guarantee of to begin with. The Aunt has every right to spend every dime she had or even give it all away to others upon her death. So they were hardly “screwed”. Also, didn’t the dad have the real money anyways who they were closer to?!

Teacher here, I know in SOME states the less referrals that are in their logging system that get reported to the state the better the school looks. This is a GROSS mishandling of discipline, even for a student with an IEP (Individualized Education Plan).

Schools get grants and kickbacks for things like attendance, academics, and infractions. Chances are the upper staff does get a bonus if the whole school meets the correct numbers. Side note: if you have research and writing skills I'd suggest looking into becoming a grant writer. It can be very lucrative.

When I was in high school, there was a girl I really wanted to date. When I asked her out, she laughed in my face and told me I'd never be good enough for her. Ten years later, I crossed paths with her at a grocery store. She looked twice her age, and had four kids by four different jocks, none of whom she ever married. Oh, she was SOOOO interested in getting together with me. When I realized what she was up to, I just smiled and said "I wasn't good enough for you in eleventh grade. You even laughed in my face. So, I'm not good enough for you now. Sorry, but I'm not interested. Besides, I'm with a woman who DOES think I'm good enough for her, and she hasn't saddled me with supporting the spawn of the most uncouth cretins in town." She was stunned into silence. And fortunately, I haven't seen her since then.

As far as the vice principal of a school getting “merit pay“, yes schools get bonuses for their own grades. This is why they came up with the “no child left behind“. When it comes to public schools, the better the kids grades, the less disciplinary action that has to be taken, typically that school gets better funding. Better funding means better pay. I don’t know if it’s this way throughout the entire country, but it definitely is where I live.

The cousins will just get inheritance from the dad.

I can tell you that in that last story, stuff like that actually happens. When I was working with one school I had to deal with several delinquent children. None of them listened and would act out, I even had a 4th grader jump on my back. The school never punished him, refusing to believe me without video evidence. When I took it to my supervisor they found that the student had an ADHD, and because of that the student couldn't be punished for assaulting me. I had another student that was apart of that same group of kids tell me that the teacher told her that they weren't going to punish any of the students as it was to early in the school year.

“So apparently in like the early 1900s it was common for Americans to solve their problems with high explosives & gunpowder pranks” 😆

A few decades ago now I was working midnight shift in a state facility. I had picked up a carryout meal for lunch on my way in and had put it in the staff kitchen while we had report. Once the afternoon shift left I went down to get it and it was gone. It happened two more times so the next times over the next month and it was always when I brought in food from one particular restaurant. Pissed off I crushed 12 Dulcolax and put it into the food and a bottle of Mt Dew I had brought in. Both were stolen and one staff member called in sick for the next few days and when she returned was very pale and kind of shaky. When she looked at me I just grinned but didn't say anything. It never happened again.
