The hardest dollar to steal –
– is the very first one.

You didn’t commit the crime, so…

Whatever you do, don’t tell your target
how it was done!
If you get it wrong, your target knows
you’re guessing!

No, you will not see it coming.

If you could, you would
not have hired me.

I can’t steal from you –
- until you trust me.
© 2020 Thomas Hughes + Gary Zeune 9

Money that’s never stolen –
- never has to be recovered.

Please: Read your mail.

Stop a thief with a Post-it®
note.

Would I hire me?

Do I have to pay taxes on this?

Give me six weeks.
Maybe less.
More to the point:
Two bank statements.

Let me introduce myself:

Stealing turned me into a thief.

A Few Red Flags
• Unsustainable lifestyle outside of work
• Eager for more responsibility, but…
• Won’t take a promotion
• Unfaithfulness in small matters
• Failing to share over information
• Debt collectors or process servers
