I wonder if he has carrier-bags full of switches lying around in his garage?
I don't really see why an employee would get the OK to take such quantities home... Doing so without permission is a pretty good way to get (at a minimum) fired in lots of places.
I remember a story about Woolworths stores in the UK where in the final few days of their existence, members of staff and the public had not only been stripping shelves of the stock, but taking the actual shelves, fixings, posters, tills, key safes, rugs and cabinets out of the shops too.
I was hoping that the free-for-all would extend to factory components. But having said that, I guess that Alps as a company are still very much alive.
