From Jonah's story:

A Seattle Times newsroom employee has been caught stealing more than $50,000 worth of books, DVDs and CDs meant for a Seattle Times charity fund, but no charges have been filed.

In June, an acquaintance of the Times employee contacted the paper and told them the employee had been "intercept[ing] the books as they come into the mail room," taking them out of the Times' building and storing them at his home until he had 18-20 full boxes of books, which he would then take and resell at Powell's bookstore in Portland.

Police documents say the books, cds, and DVDs—review copies sent to the Times—were meant to be sold to benefit the Seattle Times Fund for the Needy. The Seattle Times also has an internal policy which prohibits employees from reselling books intended for review.

The employee—who has been a newsroom assistant since 1978, according to police records—had apparently been pulling off his scam for nearly three years.
