Loretta Jean McClure, 41, a former receptionist for a dental office in Lincoln, Nebraska, turned herself in to authorities after police accused her of embezzling $11,612 from the practice. Even smaller-dollar thefts warrant reporting and prosecution — the amount identified is often a fraction of what was actually taken, and criminal charges create accountability that deters future conduct.
