Tightwads
There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

'Stealing from work'
is a subject I've suggested for QOTW. I too stole toilet rolls.

Top idea
Although a little bit iffy....
Friday's haul over here was 100 blank CDs and 50 DVDs, a PCI WiFi card, brand new keyboard and mouse I found in the cupboard, and a DVD burner.
Having the authority to actually order the things before stealing is a good thing. Not sure if this makes it more of a crime though, does it become fraud instead of theft?

It could always be
"things I stole from the workplace before my current one"
So far (err... I mean "in total at my previous employer") the haul includes:
A few parts that became part of a halloween costume, and have taken home without any paperwork (not exactly stealing, but Security still treat it as such...) a over a grands' worth of UPS (+ extra "out of date" batteries) and DAQ / digital IO equipment. So my PC can now sit downloading all day running on batteries that are charged from inexpensive nighttime electricity, and I can turn on my kettle from my living room- or even from work!
Oh, and a (sadly, non-functional) model of an ROV. Plus assorted stationary, batteries, etc.

The best I can manage...
...is taking home some transparent plastic folders I found in a former colleague's desk drawers after he'd left, instead of returning them to the stationery cupboard they'd originally come from years before. How many years would I get for that?
