When, and when not, to speak up if a fellow employee disobeys rules is one of the toughest decisions you will have to make. Yet, allowing a controversial situation to continue only delays the problem being solved. You will need to face these challenges and make appropriate decisions.

The auto body shop where you work has strict rules about keeping tools in their proper place. Lately, you’ve noticed that Larry, who works in the bay next to you, has been borrowing smaller tools from the toolbox you both use and taking them home overnight. He usually returns them in the morning. However, some of the tools Larry borrowed over a month ago still have not been returned. Larry is an excellent technician, and he always lends you a helping hand when you need it. You don't want him to get in trouble, but the missing tools are making your job harder. How will you handle this problem?
