Even in the US, he would have gotten some satisfaction.... in a socialist paradise like Norway, he may have wound up with your boss as a manservant for life.
    Of course. It wouldn't be okay, but I would certainly understand him if that was the reason why he took a few things. And with my opinion of my boss being quite low, I sincerely doubt I would be helping him out....

    As for this situation, if someone asks me a question, I will of course tell "the truth and nothing but the truth, so help me Rune Gerhardsen". If I'm ever going to lie to a court of law or even the cops, it's got be an incredibly serious situation. A case concerning pennies that don't belong to me doesn't fit that category... There's more to it than morality. My record sheet is clean, there's no way I'm going to stain it with perjury. Nor am I going to risk it no matter how insignificant that risk may be.

    I'm not a crook, and I'm insulted that my boss thinks I'm willing to become one over a couple of thousands.

    oh, and for the record, I've pestered him about contact the unions for a long, long time... But he's young, this is his first job, and he's afraid to be a bother, that the boss will screw him over, that he won't get a good reference, that he won't get as many extra hours, etc. And since I don't have a problem with my pay, there's not a lot I can do for him, this is something he must be willing to do himself... I can offer assistance, but not much more than that...

    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
