I had a neighbour drop by and when she left all the gift cards I had gotten for Christmas were gone from the wall unit shift in my living room. I worked in condo security and the residents would give us coffee shop or fast food gift cards. I had shown them to her when she asked how work was.
I had actually planned to regift them to family as my min wage pay did not go far.
I confronted her the next day and she readily admitted it. She said she deserved them more because she was a single parent on welfare and I had a job. For reference in Canada at that time single parents on assistance actually made more than someone working a 40 hour week on min wage. The benefits were called Mother's Allowance. 400 dollars in gift cards gone.
