MARTA's investigative file noted that the practice had gone on for years.

"I don't see that as a problem. It's like a laptop. We have a camera, we use the camera. We use the microphone and we bring it back. We've always done that."

That's what one former MARTA employee told the agency's investigators about his routine borrowing of audiovisual equipment for use in his TV production studio at home.
