How and why is a gold chain government property, let alone surplus?
Somebody has some splainin to do...
And holy shit - our lunch room has nothing like this:

Our couches are so old people have literally fallen through them when sitting down and our table has had the legs reglued so many times, I think there's more glue than wood.

quoted from the manager of inventory control:
"Many of these items are goods seized by the Crown under proceeds of crime legislation."

i.e. it's bling from a former crack dealer... and he might want it back if he gets out and sees you wearing it... best to melt it down and mail it away

All you have to do is go to the warehouse in Woodside, pick out the stuff you want for your office, and they'll deliver it.

My manager disagrees with you and would prefer to just do nothing about it.

We didn't consult our manager. We just went over and did it. The stuff miraculously appeared and no one asked any questions.

Sorry. They fired my ass a year and a half ago. You could send me your i.d., but then you might not like what I pick out for you. That place has some pretty bizarre stuff.
