From the Chicago Tribune, although I heard about this on news radio... file this under Things you should remember not to do when you lose your job. Yikes!

Hinsdale bank teller takes cash on way out door; $23,760 stolen from drawer
A supervising cashier who gave herself a $23,760 parting gift when she was about to be fired from the Hinsdale branch of Bank of America in April 2009 faces up to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to theft Tuesday.
After being told she was about to be terminated because of personnel issues, Latoya White, 33, of Brookfield, took the money from a teller drawer, Assistant DuPage County State's Attorney William Wu told Judge George Bakalis on Tuesday. White then wrote a cash-out ticket to try to conceal her theft, Wu said.
The theft was uncovered by routine bank accounting.
