In my first career in biochem research, I was regularly instructed to haul all sorts of useful stuff to the boneyard. Everything that had been purchased for a study was trashed once the study was finished. Stuff like gas pressure regulators, small pumps, motors, stainless and brass fittings etc. I couldn't bring myself to do that, so I started rat-holing it all. When it came time to leave that job, I was faced with a good sized pile. There was no way to smuggle it all out to the parking lot, so I did something I regularly did as part of my job. I went to the motor pool, checked out the Travel-All, loaded it up and drove out the front gate. There was no guard, and no one kept track of me anyway, so the extra long trip went completely unnoticed.
