    Consider the fact that there name was put to shame with a sport's debacle not too long ago. This is the aristocrats getting back at the South African public for taking a stand back then…

    As we all agree, there are many other choices that could have been made but wasn’t? Why is that? Is this not payback?

    You decide…

    Yes, what exactly are you supposed to steal on your way out in that 2 minutes it takes you to be escorted out? Surely, you can't carry your desk with you on your way out!

    A small USB drive with an important file or more, perhaps?

    Seriously this is nothing new, particularly when staff with access to sensitive information are leaving. Many years ago an acquaintance of mine resigned from a life assurance firm where he was a broker on commission only. When he tendered his resignation, he was not even allowed to return to his desk. He could leave with his car keys and that was it.

    His personal effects were returned to him in a box a few days later.

    So, what do we learn from this: Always keep up to date offsite backups of all your employers information that you want to appropriate.

    That way you won't be caught unaware and miss that critical last 2 minute window to swipe all of it
