Guy walks into a downtown camera store and says, "I like to trade
my film camera for a credit against a new digital."
Pulls out a Leica R3 in near mint condition, a Summicron 50mm f2
made in the Midland, Ontario plant, almost mint and a 28mm f2.8
Elmarit, similar condition.
Sales guy asks what he wants for it.
$200.00. Sales guy's eyes light up, he pulls out his own wallet
and hands the guy $200.00.

Unlikely to be true.

No one, but no one carries that much cash around with them these
days.

Well, then, how'bout "Salesman takes two hundred dollar bills out of
the cashier thingammy, then passes an ATM machine on his lunch break
and replaces them whan back?

In the meantime, the company auditor shows up and counts the money in
the till. So when the salesman gets back from lunch, he's arrested
and led away in handcuffs.

Not to mention that he acted contrary to the interests of his employer and
his explicit work assignment while being on duty. A good reason to fire him
on the spot.
