1.20 Larceny Or Theft (Level 5)

Can they really fire me for pocketing a quarter off the floor of the bus, or taking someone's food from the refrigerator?

Rule 1.20 Larceny or Theft says yes. Theft, pilferage, or unauthorized removal of Hampton Roads Transit property or the property of others will result in the termination of an employee from the service of Hampton Roads Transit.

But reality says not without proof. And if you do find loose change on the floor of your bus, contact the Dispatcher for guidance. Refer to Rule 1.10 Lost and Found Items
