Is it common for bank tellers to steal money from their bank?
<|assistant|>
Bank teller theft is rare, however it does occur. In some cases, tellers may steal money to help themselves financially, while in other instances they may be working with other people within the bank to orchestrate a larger theft. Banks usually have policies in place for identifying and responding to teller theft and employ security measures to mitigate the risk. Generally, the FDIC states that only 1.3% of bank employees were involved in theft or loss in 2018, down from 2.2% in 2017.  Moreover, many banks have adopted technological measures, such as video surveillance, to make it easier to identify any potential theft.
