Jailed For £23,000 Haul Of Medical Supplies

Hospital worker Douglas Stevenson, 31, took home medical supplies at the end of his shift at the Royal Infirmary, Yorkhill Hospital, and Southern General from October 2006 to November 2008 and tried to sell them off on eBay to internet shoppers from Australia and the United States. Some of the items among the 220 items found in his home included surgical implants and skull drill bits.

I think it is a pretty dumb thing to do since most people who obtained items illegal will always try to offload them online through websites like eBay and Craigslist. Similarly, people who have lost something would also go to such websites and search for them first thing using relevant keywords.

Due to this, Stevenson has lost his job and will have to serve a 20-month jail sentence. No, crime doesn't pay. Not at all. Don’t they ever learn?
