I know this happens in many organizations, including not-for-profits, but this museum relies solely on donations and grants, as well as the gate, and gets no state funding, as far as I know. "All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law". (I heard that on "Law and Order).

Sad. A lot of places think this can't happen to them but it does. There should always be some sort of "checks and balances" in place. I used to work for a place where the person requesting checks for payments also authorized the checks. Had an audit review by external auditors and that practice ended pretty quick.
