Busy Beavers in Colorado High Country

A lot of areas in the Rocky Mountains have problems with beavers gnawing trees. But this state has a much bigger problem with humans who are busy as beavers gnawing away at large sums of money that belong to their neighbors. The story linked below contains an interesting line: “…it’s just the latest in a series of extraordinary embezzlement cases throughout the Fifth Judicial District, which includes Eagle, Summit, Clear Creek and Lake counties.”

imagesIt’s sad to think about, but these areas include some pretty ritzy communities with million dollar vacation homes. It must be that people put in a position of trust handling large sums of money just somehow think they’re entitled. Why shouldn’t rich people just allow us to wander through their bank accounts at will? What right do they have to complain?

    Hmmm. Because the latest arrest involves an employee of Eagle County Clerk and Recorder’s Office, perphaps there should also be an audit of recorded documents, especially deeds. Makes you wonder if there are other discrepancies.

    I love the quote that refers to jail time for “stealing from your employer.” Does that include volunteer Board members who have been caught embezzling, or just hired managers?
