I did this one time … with $600 of my employer’s money! I worked for an industrial general contractor, and we had two or three new jobs starting the next week, so I was sent to the bank for “petty cash” on Friday. I had a total brain fart moment, and ended up taking it home with me, where the envelope promptly disappeared. I cried all weekend, and shredded the house looking for it. Of course, it was in my car the whole time. PHEW!
