There was a big problem at the factory – th*ft. Every day, someone was sn*aking goods off the premises. Management instructed security to search every employee leaving the building at the end of their shift.

Most workers cooperated and had no problem opening their bags for inspection. The guards were thorough, checking everyone – right down to the very last person. That last guy was always the same: a man wheeling out a big cart full of trash. And every time, the same security guard would spend a solid half hour digging through wrappers, cigarette butts, and plastic cups, while the rest of the crew was already heading home. But he never found anything.

One evening, clearly frustrated, the guard said to the man:

“Look, I know you’re up to something. Every single time I go through your cart, piece by piece, and I never find a thing worth stealing. Just tell me what you’re doing. I swear, I won’t snitch.”

The man shrugged and said:

“It’s simple – I’m ste*ling the carts.”
