BERLIN (Reuters) - A German factory worker stole over a million screws from his employer and skewed the market with his cheap stolen goods, police said Friday.

"In the end, it became obvious that screws were being sold for much less than they usually cost," said a spokesman for police in the southern city of Wuerzburg.

Over two years, the 33-year-old assembly plant worker smuggled between 2,000 and 7,000 screws out of work each night, and auctioned them on an Internet site, police said. The scheme cost his firm around 110,000 euros ($156,000).

The man confessed after officers raided his home.

I want to comment on how that's just "screwed up", but I think that "unusual" might be a better word to describe it.

I think when somebody finally noticed the weird clanking noise he made when walking was when they got their first clue something was up. That and the fact he got more than a bit narky if anyone came near him with a magnet.
