Office Supplies
The Most Stolen Office Supplies
Do your co-workers have sticky fingers for office supplies? If so, you're not
alone.
More than 40 percent of workers confessed to "borrowing" an item from a
colleague and never returning it, and more than 50 percent to taking office
products for use at home.
What are the "hottest" items in
the workplace?
The Most Stolen Office Supplies
1. Pens, Pencils and Highlighters
A whopping 82 percent of survey
respondents reported that these writing
instruments most often went missing
from their workspace.

2. Paper Products
Items such as notebooks and sticky-notes
are the second-most pilfered item in the
office, with 35 percent of workers noticing
them disappearing, according to the
survey.
The Most Stolen Office Supplies
3. Paper or Binder Clips
Clips for keeping things nice and orderly
are apparently pretty popular items in
offices across the United States. The

pinched.

workers in the survey know - they are
tough to keep away from thieving
colleagues.

6. Tape Dispensers
While the survey didn't measure seasonal
fluctuations in office supply pilfering, you
can imagine that the disappearance of
tape dispensers grows as the holidays
near, as gift-givers seek out tape for
wrapping marathons.
Nevertheless, 14 percent of workers
noticed them missing in action.

7. Printer Ink
The survey also indicated that more than
a quarter of workers found it easier to
take the supplies they need from the
office rather than go to the store and buy
it.
The Most Stolen Office Supplies
8. Binders
According to the survey, 8 percent of
workers who have noticed office thievery
said that binders most often went missing
from their workspace.
So, what supplies have you taken
home from your workplace??
