The company I work at gave me a new laptop this year. I take it to work and home in case I need to work on something at home. I have it stored in my laptop bag.
My car got broke into and my laptop bag got snatched. I was originally just going to pay for the damages to my car out of pocket since the cost to repair is only a couple hundred more than the deductible.
I got an email demanding that “You will file a loss of property…” regarding fixing my car and also for the laptop that got stolen.
Is this legal? Ethical? Is the company able to garnish my wages or take any adverse actions against me in this situation?
