Crazy. We always photocopy the tickets and I also give the tickets to another coworker for safekeeping if I am the buyer. If I buy tickets for myself, I do it on a separate trip, preferably a different store.

It’s not the worth of having something like this happen.  
We also always buy tickets to cover the people who are out of the office.
