What do you think of someone who steals a mag once in a great awhile from a waiting room?

I don't know why someone would steal a magazine ... They're there for people to read while they're waiting for the doctor. People donate them for that purpose. If you really want a magazine .. buy one for yourself.

Well, i guess they can't afford it. I get magazines online, free.

I think it's wrong since they didn't pay for it and even if it was donated those people who donated them wanted it for the waiting room. They most likely stole the best mag in there leaving another person really bored with a boring mag or nothing at all. Karma will get them in the end she always does.

Who cares. They're old any way. Past news.

It's not okay but plenty of people do it.

Very appropriate question... if this were 1968 that is.

I have never done it nor witnessed it being done..and they are definitely donated mags as you can spot Roosvelt's pic on the cover.. Teddy's.

Petty theft is a crime adding up into the millions.

Wow. I don't know why everyone thinks they're donated. Every dentist I worked for paid for those subscriptions. If somebody took one, we'd be ticked. We always made a point of keeping new stock out and removing the old. If a patient asked for one or asked for us to copy an article, we'd give them the mag, but it's wrong to just help yourself. I can't speak to the medical community, but the dentists I worked for brought home very little after everyone else was paid and the bills were taken care of. Stealing from them would just be insulting.
