The interviewers would like to know how you would react if put in an awkward or potentially harmful situation, like being asked by a colleague to steal or do something immoral. Theft can occur in many ways in the workplace and is not necessarily reserved for blatantly taking a product. Some examples include:

- Timecard fabrication, also known as 'buddy punching,' where you punch in for a colleague who is not present
- 'Borrowing' money from petty cash
- Falsifying vendor or expense accounts
- Taking items from the lost and found
- Stealing data or documents containing trade secrets
- Taking expensive office supplies like ink or adding personal items to supply orders
- Billing items to patients that do not apply to them

Of course, you already know how to answer this question! Express that you would never engage in this behaviour and discuss how you would report this type of situation. If this has happened to you in the past, you can talk about the case without providing your colleague's name.
