Have you ever stolen something from your office? We're not talking elaborate bank robberies here, just the occasional bit of innocent thievery. Well, we assume you do because apparently 61 percent of workers have admitted to stealing something from their workplace.

Stationery website cartridgepeople.com conducted a survey of 2,000 people and found that the top choice of stolen office goods was pens, followed closely by Post-Its and notepads.

Other popular items for thieving hands were tea bags and mugs, which is definitely one way of kitting out your kitchen on the cheap. Just maybe refrain from stealing the shirt off your boss's back, eh?

Thieving from the office because you're skint? Here are eight things that are going up quicker than your salary.
