I might have witnessed someone stealing

I (janitor) was making my rounds when I saw someone bent over a box, looking at something. At first, I didn’t think much of it—people drop stuff all the time. But when I saw what he was holding, it was a weird 3D printed thing, all bright and colorful, like a little piece of art. He seemed unsure, almost like he was deciding whether to take it or leave it.

I was close by, but I didn’t say anything. I just watched for a second, then went back to my work. He grabbed it and looked around, like he was making sure no one was watching. I nodded at him, and he nodded back before walking off with it.

By the time I finished my shift, the thing was gone. Guess he’s keeping it. Probably doesn’t even know what it is, but it’ll make a nice ornament this year, I bet. Funny how things get picked up and given new life like that.
