At the shipping warehouse I'm now doing security at, any employee caught coming off the floor through screening with a cell phone has to fill-out an unregistered item form, and we have to photograph the phone and send an email to HR. Non managers/vendors are NOT allowed to have phones or other electronics because it could be stolen from the warehouse, or they could have been taking photographs of secure areas, or even if you're just listening to music that's a hazard when working around heavy equipment. Depending on your number of offenses, you can be suspended or fired.
An employee came through screening and buzzed. He had a cell phone wrapped-up in a pair of gloves. He claimed he'd found the phone in the gloves out on the warehouse and was just bringing them to us. Since it was in his possession, we fill out a form for him and he's NOT happy; but since he says it's not his phone, we hang onto it like we do all lost and found
A minute later he comes back and says his phone is missing out of his locker (that he would have programed with his own code!). Oh, gee, that just happens to be the phone he found on the floor. He got his phone back but is still claiming it's a coincidence that he found his own 'stolen' phone hidden out in the warehouse 
We found he's actually already in the system for having brought his phone through once before. Gosh golly gee, look at that, he had the same phone last time!
He's also a temp worker, and they don't get as many chances as a company employee, so we might be saying bye-bye to him.
Really, security is not THAT stupid
