security guard's shoes, socks, trousers and pants

Several years ago (1988/89) I was doing a job which had a night shift. Security on that site was handled by an old bloke called Dave. He was on site during the day but weekday nights were done by Paul and weekends by 2 other blokes. Paul was going on holiday, and Dave (being a real miser not to mention stupid) decided to cover Paul's shift himself! Dave was in the office when we arrived for work but when some of us went down for a smoke, he was fast asleep. My manager was bl*dy furious but instead of waking him up and tearing him off a strip decided that we'd start undressing him - what kind of security guard doesn't realise he's being stripped? We got his shoes and socks off quite easily but then Keith (my manager)started to unfasten Dave's trousers. We gently eased them down his legs and off. He was wearing baggy mesh underpants so we took them for good measure. His cardkey for the site doors was on his belt so we took that too. We left his things in reception, in front of the CCTV camera and switched his office monitor to that camera. One of the cleaners arrived about 4 hours later and let him in to retrieve his belongings. Dave never mentioned this incident but the cleaner spread the story of how Dave naked from the waist down had flagged him down as he drove in the gates. We never mentioned it but as we were the only other people on site that night, he must have known. On a better note we had a temporary replacement security guard the next night and until Paul came back. We could have been terrorists or anything but fortunately we were just a bunch of evil b**ards.
