Employee stealing technology secrets to Chinese car company

Just heard about this. This guy was stealing hybrid tech to sell to the Chinese. He was arrested yesterday and get this. His cubicle is three down from mine. I was busy doing documentation work that I did not hear/notice him getting arrested. A coworker next to me said he was walked out the other day. Guess we are going to get audited all to hell and back now.

If he has any cool stuff in his cubicle, you might want to go snatch it now before it becomes a crime scene.

Wow, that is really crazy. I take it this is going to make your life very busy for a while...

His cubicle office is trashy. They locked the doors. I already warned my group to watch what what they do because our employer is going to get even more strict on security.

That's funny. I also had a coworker who made news a couple of years ago, and no doubt was posted on this site. I had always wondered how with his high 5 digit salary he was able to have a new Mercedes S-Class, a Range Rover and new designer suits. Come to find out post arrest that he had A LOT more than I ever could realize. But I had always suspected since the beginning. He got nabbed a few months after I left for current gig and is still doing his crime.

This this guy also strike you as the sort who would do this, or were you taken by surprise?
