I mean this is just getting silly now, isn't it?

Selling or not returning company equipment is a crime and will land you in prison. If you don't have appropriate reach in a given jurisdiction to use the police force there you probably shouldn't be hiring there anyway.

San Francisco doesn't have a police force so much as it has a couple thousand people just hanging out sucking $700M off of the city budget.
