Steal Something from Work Day? Looking at Theft in the Workplace.

Theft investigation in the workplace is an all too common occurrence that companies must deal with. There are over 6,000 workers reported in 2022 stealing from their employers nationwide. That’s 1,000 more cases than reported in 2021. This 19% increase in workplace theft is likely due to the recent spike in inflation. From a serious theft crime such as finance fraud to a lesser theft crime, such as stealing utensils, how much theft really is going on in the American workplace? What are the motivations to do something so risky? And lastly, if you expect theft in your workplace, how can you open a theft investigation?

Types of Workplace Theft

Financial Theft: A common and extremely damaging type of workplace theft is in banks and insurance companies, where a matured employee would steal money from the company. It is reported that more than 30% of businesses go bankrupt due to financial theft. In 2018, a study was done to investigate the motivation of the employee and the impact of theft on the business. This study documented over 200 incidents of financial theft over 12 years. They found that financial theft is usually committed by an employee, often times they hold a high position in the company. It is shown in the study that nearly half of financial theft is committed by an employee that has been working 5 years or more at the business. They usually are authorized to access sensitive account data.

The most common roles held by thieving employees were in management, cashiering, or accounting roles. Knowing all the ins and outs of the company makes it easy to steal. Although these employees went through background checks per the study’s observation, they still managed to steal an average total of $98,000 to $258,000. The primary motivation was unsurprisingly the idea of financial gain or even to support a gambling addiction.

Possession theft: Have you eaten lunch at work and accidentally taken home the workplace utensil? This is considered possession theft. Although it is much less serious, risky, and has less obvious gain than financial theft, theft of workplace possessions is quite common. It can have a serious motivation or be accidental. Possession theft can leave an impact on the company, as the missing materials must be constantly replaced. The consistent spending can cause financial loss in the company.

Motivation

Aside from making money and forgetting to return utensils, there is a deeper motivation to workplace theft. Nearly 34% of millennials justify stealing from their job, according to a recent study. How is it possible to justify stealing even the smallest thing from the workplace?

April 15 is Steal Something From Work Day

This day is made to encourage employees to steal money, materials or information from their workplace. They focus especially on stealing information. The creators of this day believe that information is power, and public circulation of this sensitive information can control and destroy the so-called “repressive institutions.” They believe that society is headed towards economic disaster and authorities have not done anything to solve these issues. Employers of large companies are complicit with the destructive conditions we live in and employees are complacent. So, employees are encouraged to take down the businesses by releasing sensitive information and letting the public take control.

i hate when people try to defend ai art with “but i want to be able to make pretty pictures like you guys!!” ok grab a canvas go to youtube and watch bob ross. grab some pencils buy a sketchbook and a beginners drawing book and learn like the rest of us. we didn’t spend years honing our craft just so you could plug it into a machine that spits out a poor mimicry in .2 seconds so that you could feel like you made something you didn’t work for

#ai art #wanna make cool things? learn #the rest of us got here not by being naturally talented but by putting in the work and effort #it takes time and dedication. you don’t get to surpass the skills and work and time we spent trying to create something for you to look at #because you just think it’s too hard #commission a real artist if you want a customized picture #don’t just steal #i get that it’s hard. believe me i’m working on it every day and it’s very easy to get discouraged #but im not just gonna give up and be like ‘whatever i can just farm from other peoples stolen crops’#i want to make cool stuff so i’m putting in the effort to learn how #that’s kind of how it works #text post #top posts

mylene is so interesting to me bc like. she just chucks elico out as soon as she gets a mechanical replacement with macubass. and i think she's the only villain so callous about their guardian bakugan???

most villains still care about their bakugan and usually actually share the same goals and are on the same wavelength, birds of a feather and all that. like even characters like kazarina, cruel as she is, still are fond of their guardian bakugan. and theres characters like spectra and barodius who's plans center around their guardian bakugan, and are actively encouraged by those bakugan.

even characters who's guardian bakugan dont necessarily get along with them all the time, like avior and mason's constant bickering, are still friends. meanwhile mylene just. throws elico out. and also takes brontes from volt and throws him out as well. i think whats also interesting, since the show likes to bring up spectra and mylene parallels, is how spectra uses machines to upgrade and evolve helios, while mylene outright replaces elico with a machine.

but it's not like she's shown to be like. completely heartless either. she calls volt her friend even though she threw out brontes beforehand. she stands up for hydron when zenoheld takes his anger out on him. she has some weird friendship with shadow prove.

i think she was the vehicle to show the general vestal opinion on bakugan, since mylene only sees her bakugan as weapons and when she loses she blames the loss on them. (meanwhile i think volt is supposed to show that not all vestals are THAT bad, even if they are part of the king's entourage of fucked up teenage celebrity theatre kids). and i think she's very interesting bc of that. anyways i love mylene.

#mylene farrow #bakugan new vestroia #lync and shadow prove can also be considered this to a lesser extent??? but they've never had a guardian bakugan #so the comparisons aren't as strong #they probs dont have guardian bakugan for the same reason mylene threw elico out #i think lync is more representative of nv's overarching theme of loyalty. as is shadow prove.#and obvs spectra gus and hydron too #obvs mylene and volt are too but like i dont think that's their main purpose #i think they're more supposed to represent vestal society as a whole #i feel like this went off on a slight tangent or something?? this is just how my thoughts work im adhd #interestingly i think the time when spectra is at his worst is when he steals drago #after he steals drago he kinda sorta starts ignoring helios a little?? kinda replaces helios with drago???#so he replaces one bakugan with another thats seemingly more powerful and can only follow orders. sounds familiar??#love that tbh. i love villains. they're so interesting.#also i could probably write a post even longer than this about nv's theme of loyalty regarding the vestals #but thats neither here nor there lmao. always happy to ramble #anyways also happy lesbian visibility day from ur local bakugan loving aro lesbian #also this post ended up being far longer than i expected but i have brainrot sooooo #ANYWAYS BYEEEEEEEEE might go watch nv i love that season if u cant tell

forcing myself to post the page of doodles before i can say just one more and end up with two full pages

i am willing to blame all of these on this fic again but the middle 3 r technically actually from specific pieces. the other stuff is just what had already been stewing in my brain that the fic reminded me of. (the wol is kindly being modeled by asleepinawell’s wol today. i forgot to put that on the last one when i drew him 😭) im obsessed with the idea of there always being a space if one of the three is missing. been messing around with it for a while but this gave me an excuse to try and illustrate it. also to play around with how different things look when you copy paste most of the lines and only change a select few. always fascinates me how a single line can completely change an expression

#my art tag #ffxiv #endwalker spoilers #hestia/azem's tag #friend art tag #sorry to torture ur wol again but i have a running gag that batu doesnt remember zenos exists or who he is #plus ur wol is cute and has a carbuncle and i love au ra anyways #(i would always rather draw an au ra than the basic wol lol)#also the detail that hyth steals all the blankets made me laugh #extremely ic i think #also works with hestia bc i say theyre a heater bc they have an affinity for fire aether #so it wouldnt matter if hyth took all the blankets bc hestia is warm enough for both them and hades #one of those things that works fine if theres all 3 there but falls apart as soon as 1 is missing :)#i was joking the other day that these doodles are punishment for getting me hooked on the fic #like no! not nice comments! i'm suffering from brain rot!#genuinely tho im glad these r well received bc i would hate to portray things badly #and im glad to have something to keep me doodling because its fun and its all great practice #anyways that got deeper than i expected so i better just hurry up and post this lol #hythlodaeus #emet selch

I've been reading about xiangqi a bit and now I'm even more obsessed with that one video of Jing Yuan

#Obsessed with the fact they made a point of him not leaving the palace #Anyway I was rewatching this because I still find very amusing that you can see when he steals that piece from the board #Which is something that makes I think more sense considering the ways in which you can check and win in this game #It seems pretty fun actually I think I'll try. Maybe with this being different this time I'll be able to convince someone to play with me #No one wants to indulge me when it comes to chess and I don't like playing online #Hmm actually this game seems less unpleasant to play non physically based on aesthetics #With chess I always have to take out a physical board and it's sort of annoying. The pocket chess I carry around is not much better #Yes I think I'll give xiangqi a try. And look for good books about it and its evolution. I hope I find something #It's always so hard to find things worth reading about topics like these. Like with fencing. Still unsure about what I got about that #After rewatching the video again I have half a mind to make gifs to keep track of his moves. I just really find it very amusing #I love how the move and what is happening in the rest of the video work with what we see him do in the actual game #Personality wise yes but strategically #I think I actually rambled about this in a post a few days ago? Oh wait that was in my main blog I think #I don't know why I make sideblogs if I end up reblogging the posts in the main after all. I always do the same thing #I'll stop now but oh I am really so so fond of him. I think I could talk for hours haha #I talk too much #Jing Yuan #Right now it doesn't seem to appear in the general tag for me but I'll check in a bit again #I really don't know how to organise my rambles anymore with this feature #I miss the five tags thing #Now no matter how much I talk it seems the general tag will always find my posts

if ur city ever starts getting flooded with people from nyc or california you need to get tf out when you have the chance

^ spray painted message in post apocalypse setting

#if you live in brickell I’m stealing something from your house #sorry I mean your $4000 a month apartment.#highest inflation in the country!! florida wins!!!!! (gritted teeth)#this also applies if people are moving to your state in droves but the effect is much more noticeable if they are all coming to ur city #so basically. when the average job here doesn’t want to pay more than $15-$18 an hour #and everyone moving here works remotely and makes 6 figures #things. become. unbearable. so make sure you go back in time and buy a house in 2008 #once I started seeing more than 5 white people a day I knew it was joever #yeah just keep buying and destroying yes just keep going (insurance companies abandoning the state)#surely nothing bad will happen when we destroy more and things get hotter and hurricanes get worse #maybe the hurricanes will scare them away. but they all live in apartments anyway. so it’s not even bad for them.

landlords are parasites but i think nothing convinces me of that more than the sheer number of times my landlords have asked me, often repeatedly/every time i see them, to come over and spend hours in their house doing their housework for them, and either guilt trip me the entire time im saying no, or straight up threaten my shelter security for saying no. like i dont think ive ever had a landlord that didnt at least try a couple times to force me to do free housework for them

#and when i say free i mean without a rent discount or any payment #i had a landlord that had my mom doing thousands of dollars worth of housemaid work every month in lieu of. like $1200 monthly rent #and this landlord was supposedly my moms best friend at the time #she even got greedy about moms days off from said housework more than once #and ive definitely had landlords that we HAD to do housework for or else they would just tell us they'd kick us out immediately for it #in situations where we really couldnt fight them on it #my current landlord does it every single time i go pay rent. where she sob stories at me about how doing housework is so hard and #'if you're not busy i can find work for you :)'#right in between me saying hey! im currently busy with my own housework all the time. die.#anyway piece of advice for new renters trying to move out of their parents house or something from someone whos had like a dozen different #landlords or more over the last several years #do not EVER give your landlord an inch to steal your time #they WILL take a mile and threaten you when you suddenly want your life and days off back #like every god damn time #you do not owe your landlord anything but rent money and lease compliance #if they want you to do work it BETTER come with fair payment or rent reductions

why am i crying outside the donut shop

#1. there used to be only one guy in charge of the mini donut place and it was the best fucking place like the donuts were delicious and #so aesthetic and round and poofy and that man had an art degree bc. (ykwim)#like i used to go to the place and just chat with him bc he was the only one and he'd give me extra donuts and he was just so nice #something happened to him and he doesnt work there but now there's a new guy and i went and he was very quiet and younger (still late 30s)#so now he's like the only new guy there i guess #the donuts were terrible #they were like shrively(?) and poorly decorated but it was near close and i could tell he had a bad day and idk they were terrible but the #taste was fine and he seemed genuinely sad and the previous customer got mad at him and he was so tired and why am i crying #2. also today at my own work a lady tried to steal and she tried to walk away with the cart but i like caught up to her bc i was interactin #w/ her before and she's like 'im gonna spray you'' and when i dont back away she says "im gonna call my brother to come r*pe you''#like uh #and then my coworker intervened but from far and it was a little scary i was def paranoid.

here’s to hoping for a ✨better✨ next week… _(:3 ��∠)_

#really long rant about my ✨work woes✨ incoming— pls lemme have this moment before i cry at the interns on monday—#short summary of my utterly horrendous week go—#on monday: the machines kept taking turns to die (and that stupid self-restarting computer aaaaaaaaaaa—)#tuesday: the machines were horrible (again). and the final chapter of act 1 of the mona manga came out that night (which was much sad :( )#wednesday: was relocated to that acid-using station and got an acid burn on a really inconvenient part of my hand >:(#like yo. acid. why couldn’t you have landed on the back of my hand instead??#why did you *have* to splash onto the left side of the base of my left index finger?? i can’t even wrap a plaster around it and it sucks >:(#thursday: the machines were horrendous too! they refused to pass the daily quality checks!!! and there were tons of samples to load too!#as a bonus this lady kept hijacking the computer to check results or something while i was trying to enter stuff into the job queue thing #(the job queues for the stupid machines that is)#and so i could do absolutely ✨nothing✨ while she did her stuff… and then she complained that my workstation was really slow that day >:/#lady p l s. blame the machines!! and it’s only my literal second day at that station so— :( and you kept stealing control of the computer :(#and then there’s today. friday. (ʘ‿ʘ) the person who loaded the samples last night put said samples into the wrong slots of the machine…#…and so the dumb acid autofiller spewed out acid anyway. which spilled onto the machine and then evaporated (for the most part) overnight #and so! when i popped in to the workstation a good 10 min late (having overslept a little due to believing it was already saturday)…#i noticed the wrongly placed samples，smelled the really strong scent of acid，went ‘ah maybe the toluene reacted with the solvents’…#…and just carried on as per normal. it only clicked that those were acid fumes from the missed samples when my eyes started to water ಥ‿ಥ #and even then i ran off to find a coworker to ask ‘will the thing still autofill if there aren’t any beakers in the indicated slots’…#but ofc i couldn’t articulate properly bc i was ✨lightheaded✨ from the acid fumes. i felt really loopy for almost an hour after that tbh :(#and so i still have no idea how i’m still employed at this place tbh. all i do is blabber nonsensically and forget my coworkers’ names :/#but i think my terrible jokes have become a little more commonplace in the workplace. whoops.#i’d say ‘merry christmas’/‘happy new year’/‘happy birthday’ when i give printouts to others，and now they say it back to me lol #i stg my sense of humour is utterly horrible. no wonder why this higher up lady (probably) secretly dislikes me lol #like she’d say ‘i’ll train you in [test method]’ only to give like a half an hour overview before leaving me to fend for myself </3 #on the other hand，she’d train and guide literally every other person for hours on end till they’re familiar with the test method :(#or maybe she thinks i’m too capable (lol). prolly not though. i usually stare confusedly at her like 👁👄👁 through her explanations #well. i think i’m done with my venting for now. see you tomorrow.#inedible blubbering

Okay uh how do you prepare for an interview that's not like, your basic interview. This isn't a Walmart or McDonald's interview, with the same basic questions online that anyone can access. This is an important interview and I don't know how to prepare because there aren't example questions online. I had an interview for this organization last year, different branch tho, but my memory is a disaster so I can't really remember anything. Plus, that interviewer and this interviewer have very different energies. AND I have a different interview for that same organization, just a different branch, coming up too.

I made that confusing.

I'm applying for an organization with branches all over. Last year I interviewed for the California branch, but I can't remember much of it. On Monday I have an interview for a Pennsylvania branch, and on Wednesday an interview for... I can't remember where it is tbh.

The Pennsylvania one is the one that I really really want, so it scares me that it's the first one up. Do you know how long it's been since I've interviewed for a job? It's been *tries and fails to count months* idk like a year? And that was for Starbucks. Customer service jobs all recycle the same questions. "Tell me about a time you delegated. Tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult situation. If a customer was dissatisfied with their order, what would you do to fix it?" And at this point in time, customer service jobs are barely asking any questions. At one of my last jobs he just asked about my previous work experience, why I wanted to work there, how long I was looking to work there, he gave me a tour, asked if I wanted to work there, I said yes, I was hired on the spot.

I had an interview at one Starbucks and she told me they weren't really hiring (idk why she gave me an interview but it was still nice), but we talked about my ambitions and hobbies, which was lit, I found out the interviewer is gay, and I got a free drink. Then she recommended me to a different Starbucks in the area, which actually asked me those normal basic questions, I got a free drink, and I was hired on the spot. Those were my latest interview experiences.

I'm a little hopeful for my interview on Monday though. In the email, the interviewer said "I'd like to find a time to have a conversation with you as an "interview"" and since he phrased it like that I'm hoping that it'll be more like my first Starbucks interview, which is easy.

Idk I think I really want that job. It's a huge opportunity but also a huge commitment. It'd be a year, across the country from where I currently live. It sounds like an amazing opportunity for me. Last year when I applied I asked an old teacher to be a reference, and she said that it seemed like the opportunity and I were made for each other. Plus, this location is just an hour away from my sibling.

This post became a lot longer than I thought I would. Interview on Monday. Different interview on Wednesday. I don't know how to prepare for either. I really want the job. I am full of so much anxiety.

#I'm getting the anxiety shakes #Monday is going to be horrific #i have to wake up early (like 7:30am but normally Monday is a day i get to sleep in)#because the interview is at 9 and i have to do the interview over Google Meet #and i don't have wifi so i have to go to the local coffee shop to steal their wifi. i have to do this damn interview in a busy coffee shop #after that i need an emissions test. the place only does tests from 10 to noon #so after the interview i have to skedaddle to get an emissions test so i don't get pulled over again because my test is four months overdue #then i have to go so work!! i have to work from 3-11pm after all of that!!#i think i might actually die #seriously how do i prepare for this. i couldn't really prepare for the one last year either #i think i just showed up and hoped for the best #idek if i got hired because at the end she told me to email her within like two days if i changed my mind about working there #and i decided i didn't want to work there yet. so idek if i did well enough there to get hired #but now I'm pretty serious about wanting to work there. its terrifying but i think itd be good for me #i havent gone to college yet and the idea of starting is very scary. im not even sure if its the right path for me #but because i dont have any college it means that my aspirations are severely limited and kind of always will be #so im stuck in fast food and i hate it. i want to do something bigger with my life #this is something bigger and it doesnt require a college education #there are decent opportunities for someone without a college education but theyre. idk how to describe it #but things like americorps. ive looked into doing americorps which i dont really need college for. same with this opportunity #idk. im just trying to find something right for me. a job that doesnt suck my soul out. a job i can love #i dont want to feel stuck anymore. i want to have a purpose. but that purpose is a little harder to come by for me #i asked my current boss to be a reference and he said 'are you asking me to be a reference for a job thatll take you away from here?'#i replied 'is it really a job if i dont really get paid?' and he said 'fair enough'#i think he took that to mean that i would still work at this job. thats why i was vague. i dont want him to know i might be leaving yet #if i left it would be late January. hopefully he wont know im leaving until two weeks before i leave #im so nervous. is this even what i want? ill have to give up so much for it. and what if i dont get it? ill still be stuck here #im terrified. wish me luck. or dont. im not sure yet

i need to be put into a medically-induced coma for 5-7 weeks to recover from this day holy shit

#head empty from too many thoughts #if anyone in minneapolis would like to add murder to their friday night plans i have a target for you #top 3 most stressful days of work #the other two were last week #i have not eaten in 24 hours save for the lone piece of dark chocolate i found in my desk #i even brought a lunch today but suddenly it was 5 #and slept in instead of breakfast because i thought this would be a chill ass day and i could steal something from the office #ur welcome for this essay it used the last ounce of brain cell that remained

progress on my painting from a while ago

#it’s still just very base layers but i hadn’t got a chance to do anything to it since that first day #(i’m borrowing my older sisters canvasses and she’s the one who has all the paints too these days which used to be mine #so she’s keeping my work in progress canvas with all her painting stuff and it only comes out of the whole family is ready to paint #which mostly just means us kids but only happens if my littlest sister is interested and today she was)#anyway im very excited to have a painting to put up on my wall of a bear playing cello #the end pin is gonna be stuck out real long too look at how far it is to where his lower foot is at #cause usually you don’t play the cello when you’re standing and if you do you often have a strap or something similar #but i don’t use a strap (mainly because i only play sitting down but like. if i stood i would use the end pin)#and so neither does he. one real self insert of an imaginary cellist bear he must be #also one thing i’m gonna struggle with is differentiating the cello from the bear in color. like yeah they’re different shades of brown but #i only have so much different colors of paint to mix together #but yknow what. things happen and that’s all they ever do and if it doesn’t look good then i’ll figure something else out #maybe it’ll have to be an orange cello. these kinds of things are unpredictable shdhdf #anyway i hope you think of me like i think of this painting (as a grizzly bear playing a cello or as a thing you like and are proud of)#but yeah hi im at the house of some cats right now. feeding them and such. but there’s this other unafilliated cat who belongs to their #roommate josh. and his cat is named bear so you’d think we’d get along but he’s scratched me in six different spots today #he always wants to eat the other cats food so i have to pick him up and carry him to another room and that makes him very upset with me #anyway the cats take a long time to eat and i can’t leave until they’re done so that i can let out bear when he no longer poses a threat #which means im just kind of chilling in a friends empty house (josh is gone for the moment) with nothing much to do except wait #and i’m sure hoping to walk home before it’s pitch dark out but that would probably mean giving up and letting bear out to steal their food #so good luck to me on that front. anyway im rambling a little i was just trying to post this picture shdhdhdf #so. i hope to work on it again soon in not very long. and i just really like painting things with a paintbrush it makes me feel less bad #when i mess up in whatever ways. because everyone always complains about traditional art so it’s more universal. i like it better though too #anyway i’ll be here for the next while just hoping to head home before 9:30. let me know if you need anything though #me. my post. mine.#delete later

Today I lectured my big boss in how our vacation law works. Told him that if he doubts my info he’s welcome to ask their legal team. Such a satisfying feeling when he ended the call with saying he had to check it and get back to me. He even asked me if I read the contract and quoted it to me. Yes, I read it. No, he still can‘t cut my vacation days. I‘ve never felt so powerful.

#none of the people in the big offices now how that law works #and they try to steal vacation days from people because of it #they got pretty pissy when they tried to explain to me several times how they thought it worked #and pretty much ignored me trying to explain them that their contract is missing something to make it in their favour

enlighten me. why is there a fucking coffee cart thing with three different artificial sweeteners and stir sticks and cups in my workplace’s kitchen but not a single drop of milk or half and half or anything to be seen Anywhere in the room. why

#you’re telling me everyone who works during the day drinks black coffee? EVERYONE? fucking bet #WHY does no one bring MILK #there’s eggs and butter in the fucking fridge why is there no god damn MILK or CREAM or SOMETHING #hghfhhhjjjj #i usually try to bring some myself for this reason but I was in a hurry today and forgot. this is a god damn travesty #I’m probably gonna steal some from one of the restaraunt kitchens later but. i don’t think I’m technically allowed to do that so I always #wait until it’s like 3-4am and my coworker is asleep or whatever #aggravating #at least i have leftover cookies #the night shift really gets the scraps of the scraps and that’s if we’re Lucky #my roommate works a shift during the day and says sometimes they get fucking pizza. PIZZA.#meanwhile I scavenge the premises in the middle of the night for candy left out at artist stalls or whatever someone may leave out in the #kitchen. tonight there was some sort of meeting thing that ended late so I got lucky and I have cookies. but still. where is the milk #kibumblabs

Finalists of the 2023 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards

Dispute by Jacek Stankiewicz from Kraków, Poland: 'I caught this scene while watching birds in the Bialowieza Forest. Young greenfinch was still fed by parents. However, from time to time birds looked like having argument. My friends interpret this scene in two ways: A young naughty kid is arguing with a parent. Or one kid is reporting to the parent that its brother did something wrong: "Look he has broken the glass in the window"'

'Excuse me sir but I think you're a little too young to be smoking' by Dakota Vaccaro from Victor, United States: 'While I was working deep in the Virginian woods, a family of grey foxes took up residence under the deck of the abandoned cottage next to my work housing. One day while practicing their hunting skills on bits of moss and branches, one of the kits lunged at a small chunk of wood and started rolling around with his prize. Tired after his hunt the kit lounged on his belly still holding the wood in his mouth which gave the strong resemblance of a cigar. I was very envious of the kit at this moment cause who wouldn't want to just lay around all day relaxing'

The Rainforest Dandy by Delphine Casimir from Brussels, Belgium: 'This picture was taken in the monkey forest in Ubud, Bali. This place is a crazy place where monkeys are king! Sometimes they give a show, sometimes they climb on you to look for fleas or steal the piece of biscuit you are trying to eat'

Otter Ballerinas by Otter Kwek from Singapore: 'An arabesque smooth coated otter'

Picture me! Picture me!! by Dikla Gabriely from Yokneam, Israel: 'A brown bear in Finland who definitely did everything to make me pay attention to him and focus on him and not the other bears'

Boing! by Lara Mathews from Melbourne, Australia: 'Taken at Westerfolds Park, a beautiful and surprisingly wild pocket of land in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, famous for its kangaroo population. The mob was enjoying some morning sunshine when this joey decided to get silly and try his hand at boxing'

Living the Moment by Kawing Chiu from Staten Island, United States: 'Relax, lay back and enjoy the warm sun... This seal is scratching its face and it is seen lying on the side while his head is supported by his flipper. This image makes the seal like the reclining Buddha statue'

#hehe
