    I think laxatives are entirely justifiable....everyone's saying you can get in trouble, but how is that worse than theft?! For all HR knows, you have laxatives in your sandwich for your own health reasons, and if they get sick, it's their fault for stealing in the first place!

    There have been cases of people being prosecuted for doing this. As awesome as it would be, not worth the risk IMO

    Dude, if I was about to go down for giving my thief of a co-worker a case of the sludge drips, I'd totally say that I had them in my sandwich for a health-related reason, and that they wouldn't have gotten sick if they hadn't stolen my food! I'd totally tell them that I was like, super constipated but couldn't take a pill, so I'd mixed it into my lunch to make it easier, lol. HR doesn't want to hear about your bowels, I'm sure...

    Food theft is punishable by firing. I think you need to let your H.R. dept in on it. If it happens to you, it happens to others. Most companies don't take kindly to theft. Theft of a coworker is where the small thieves start and move up to say electronics & bigger items.
    I used to use a big fat felt black and red marker pen to mark my lunch bag + the baggies...it would smear all over my hands if I didn't open it just so....

    Someone used to heist my cupcakes until I started baking special treats with ghost pepper....kinda just sneaks up on ya, biting into a tasty luscious treat piled high with icing, only to WHAM have that heat hit the tastebuds & by then the throat! >:)

    Well played

    Hahaha @Alatariel75 perfect!

    I once left a terse note inside a tub of butter I had at work that people kept helping themselves to. I put a sneaky tamper seal on it. A week later I checked and the tub hadn't been tampered with - turns out I was just eating alllllll that butter myself hahaha oops.


    Lol'

    So today I went in the cafeteria.... I work on the 1st floor in a fairly large building and we have 2 refrigerators in there. But when I grabbed my lunch I noticed it felt light. The sandwich was missing.

    Lately I've been packing my lunch in a small Macy's bag.... you know the ones they give you for luxury items like watches and perfumes.... yeah those. Cute little handles too.

    So I looked in my bag and just the sandwich was missing. They left my juice and Sun Chips. I'm thinking whoever took it knew what they were doing.

    What should I do?

    I don't think I can walk into HR like a frickin' dork and be like.... "Uhhmm.. hi.... I think someone is stealing my sss-sandwich."

    Nah. I gotta keep this in-house, bro.

    Funny thing is I don't think the culprit realizes just WHO brought that lunch bag in. They really don't. :neutral:



    Easy, make your sandwich with rotten food/under cooked meat and whoever suddenly has to rush to the toilet in agonising pain is your culprit.

    At my office my cheese snacks kept disappearing. . So after many unsuccessful attempts to dissuade the "Cheeseburgler" from pilfering my cheddar, we set up a motion activated webcam. He was caught!. . so we made a little cheeseburgler video, including a star-wars style introductory crawl which we showed to our Boss. . He found it hilarious but suggested that we destroy it and told us that this meeting never happened. . Suffice it to say, the culprit never stole from the fridge again and ended up quitting a month later.
