A Different Kind of Identity Theft

You may not have heard about the time George Clooney stole $300 from his employer. Clooney, then a young man, delivered meat for the Mt. Ida Meat Market in Davenport, Iowa. One day, his boss realized the market’s customers had been paying in cash directly to Clooney, who had pocketed the funds.

The reason you’re unfamiliar with this factual tidbit is that it happened in 1903. The future exploits of George Clooney, meat-profit thief, are unknown, while the exploits of George Clooney, actor and confirmed silver fox (b. 1961), are very well documented.
