Disgruntled employees need to be observed closely. I've seen cases where employees will rationalize theft.

We sincerely regret any concern or inconvenience that this theft has caused our employees. Ford takes seriously the protection of the personal information of its employees and will continue to take reasonable and appropriate steps to safeguard it.

We can still protect our assets and will be able to manage the store successfully in deterring internal theft. We have security systems in place, so we're not overly concerned.

If you're letting people handle tens of thousands of dollars, you usually ask for some bond on those people. Here, you usually have a collection of midlevel managers with the key to nearly everything you own, especially if you're in the business of creating intellectual property. Do you do a background check on them? Do you ask them to be bonded?

People send things as attachments to e-mail that have no business going out of the company.
