For stealing as a servant involving approximately $125,000 over 14 months, where there is voluntary confession, full restitution before police involvement, cooperation with police, no prior criminal history, and an undiagnosed mental condition contributing to the offending, a total effective sentence of 2 years' imprisonment with parole eligibility is appropriate.
