Yeah me to, your not exaclty going to bring loads of clips and screws to the desk and pay for them. I think checking your tool box is fine, but not your pockets.

Stealing something that would fit in a handbag is an epic fail.

I had a mate who used to throw stuff over the wall then go and collect it.
