We need a set of badge-in lockers, each with a single set of kaizen foam organized tools in a open-top case with cameras overhead. Check out a tray, check it it back in when done.
The greater of $20 or actual cost of tool +$10 for any missing tool.
Lol, you aren’t worried about the 2 extra nuts that may not have been put back on a critical part? Driving of course on our wonderful highway system.
Reminds me of this sign I saw at a customers sight in January

Swearing out someone anonymous over a couple of sockets? Take a deep breath - it’s going to be okay. While I understand the outrage, seems the fundamental attribution error is a bit strong here. Probably just forgot they put the magnets there, and to @TBJK 's point, probably missed some of their bolts

When I was in the Army many many decades ago, the automotive shop in Recreation Services in each bay had a very large shadow box with a load of basic tools and about 10 dogtag like things with a number on it assigned to that shadow box. Probably had 98% of the tools you’d need). I’m sure any veterans that used Rec Services for automotive, wood shop, or whatever are familiar with this - it worked well and was easy.
You would turn over ID (RFID today) at a tool room and get the key to unlock the cabinet that had a plexiglass cover. Any specialized tools you could check out with your dogtags. When done they’d check the shadow board and count your tags. If all was well (including area clean) you got your ID back.
We don’t need tool room but if the basic tool shadow board were used, then only the larger tools would not need to be locked up under RFID or just RFID the more expensive ones (thinking electronic diagnostics. Wouldn’t need to a tool crib person - you RFID opening and closing the shadow case. The next person using the shadow box would look at the board and if anything missing BEFORE you unlock it - it is reported missing. That means the last person using it is responsible. You don’t check it before opening it - you now are responsible (but to bet people check it). Many tools like like pneumatics, the big lever bars, etc. probably wouldn’t be under RFID control - those aren’t what we have problems with.
The ROI on just 10mm sockets for the system would conservatively be a couple of weeks

Multiply that by hundreds of people and this is why automotive is complete chaos. Small things matter. Because math.
Blaming behavior on circumstances is generally bullshit and a cop-out. There exist no circumstances short of an emergency phone call that someone is in the hospital that preclude putting shit back where you got it before leaving. Period.

Your angry attitude leaves a lot to be desired. I’m sorry you assume the worst of those around you.
That being said, the state of automotive will be dealt with shortly.
Thanks,
Justin
