Company refusing to allow me to take personally owned tools home.

I am from Illinois USA.

I am the only person in our company who provides their own tools. I do not get any special payment or bonus for using them. I just prefer to use my own tools.

I recently decided i would like to take my tool box home and use company provided tools like the rest of the company. I am being told I am not allowed to take any of my tools home without receipts. A good portion if my tools are bought at flee markets and the like where you dont get receipts.

I went through the employee handbook and it does not mention anything pertaining to tools.

Can they hold my tools like this until I provide proof?
