I worked at a company that missed payroll. They told us that they "couldn't stop" us from taking our laptop and marking its fair market value against what we're owed.

I asked about the desktop next to my laptop. "Can't stop you." "The Server under the desk?" "Can't stop you."

I drove home with fourteen PCs in the back of my car. It was so heavily loaded I had to peer over the hood. This was early 2003 and I'm still getting rid of them.

It made the eventual "yeah you had some entitlement to money but there wasn't any after the lawyers got done with it" letter all that much more sweet. :)
