She decided that it was all her ex-boyfriend's fault, so she drove over to his house first thing Monday morning to make him give her some cash. He was not home, but Mary knew that the lock on the sliding glass door was broken, so she went around back, opened the door and entered the house. She found $250.00 and his checkbook on his dresser and took that. While looking around she noticed lots of pictures of his new girlfriend and none of her. She grabbed all the pictures put them in a trashcan and set them on fire. Unfortunately th trashcan was plastic and started to melt. Mary panicked and ran out of the back door as the flames caught the curtains and wall on fire.

On her way to work, she wrote herself a $500.00 check from his account and cashed it at the bank. She knew she still needed more money. That night after everyone had left the office she snuck into the Accounting Department. One of her friends had told her he always used his birthday as his password. Mary was so happy she was able to access USP's bank account using his password. She transferred $5,000.00 to her checking account fully intending to pay USP back.
