For some folks, apparently...

...even plenty is never enough...
A TTC ticket-taker who earned $125,000 last year is one of two transit employees collected by cops for allegedly stealing fares. Toronto Police told the Sun yesterday the two men were charged last week following an investigation by TTC special constables.

Station collector Kiran Sachdev, 56, of Toronto, is charged with four counts of failing to collect a fare and one charge of theft under $5,000. Anthony Alfano, 65, of Whitby, is charged with nine counts of failing to collect a fare and one count of theft under $5,000. Both men, who worked mostly at the Eglinton subway station, will be in College Park court Aug. 31.

Ontario's annual salary disclosure list of provincial and municipal civil servants who earn $100,000 or more shows Sachdev made $125,247.19 last year working for the TTC. Also known as the sunshine list, it shows he also made $2,089.33 in taxable benefits.
