No one wants to hear it, but if you don't ask ahead of time, then taking anything without asking is unequivocally stealing (even if you think your low salary qualifies as your employer stealing from your every pay period). The exception would be if the materials used are clearly going to be used to complete a work-related (and preferably required) task and home. The relevance of that task to your job duties should be obvious. If it takes more than one sentence to explain why you are office supplies home then you are stretching the facts to fit your situation.

It goes without saying that left-over supplies need to be returned when the project is completed.


The final project/result of your home-project-for-work has to be acknowledged by a supervisor so that later you can reference the finished product as the reason co-workers saw you leaving with a shopping bag of pens and clips, etc... If the supplies are truly necessary ask a supervisor (who won't later change his/her story to cover their own butt) before taking any office supplies home. You don't want to give anyone at the office an opportunity to turn you into a walking moral lesson and warning to other would be thieves. "stealing" is an easy way for an employer to immediately terminate you "with cause" adn instead of being laid off you will be denied access to unemployment insurance/benefits.
