    It happens regularly at any office space I've worked with shared facilities. I gave up on bringing anything that required refrigeration and enjoy my jerky that is with me at the desk so doesn't grow legs.

    WHAT do you do under your desk....!? lmao

    I say if it happens again, next one should be filled with laxatives!

    You'll be able to find who it is real quick!

    I can't imagine wasting an hour of my time trying to figure out who ate my food. It's not like your firstborn was kidnapped.
    She's management and a workplace theft occured! Seems very realistic to me.

    There is a lunch thief in every workplace. May I suggest a nice batch of ex-lax brownies?

    I never thought of that. Thanks. I'll have to try that...just make sure not to taste test them first.

    This problem was so bad at my work that they posted signs on very fridge, by the time clock and near the conference center that if you were caught stealing someone's lunch you would be fired. They caught the person and he is no longer here. It was so bad my office pooled our money and bought our own fridge.

    It really sucks to be counting on something for lunch especially when you have your lunch figured for calories, fat and protein and then you have to go hungry or worse eat out.

    I love the fact that you are going through video to find the person and hope you catch .Would love to see their face when confronted because i am sure they thought they were all sly.

    Nah, I have way too many germaphobic issues to ever eat food that I wasn't sure where it came from. I just couldn't be bothered with wasting my time to catch the perpetrator either.

    We used to have someone where i work who would eat other people's food and then pretend like she didn't know it belonged to anyone. It stinks to have that happen to you! Maybe that person needed that lunch because she had no money to buy or bring her own.

    LMFAO I hate when I do that! Like it's gotten to the point that the moment I suspect someone stole my food, I automatically think "wait 'til I get home and find my precious food laid out on the counter, gone to waste."

    To OP - I hope you find the culprit. Give 'em a good shakedown when you do.

    I had a problem with the women I used to work with stealing my coffee creamer. No one would admit to it, so I filled up an empty bottle of half milk/half vinegar and put it in the fridge. Nobody took any after that.

    I made chicken and rice once, someone ate all the chicken out of it and left the container with the rice sitting on the counter.

    I take food-theft very personally. I had that happen where I work. I made it known that from now on, I would spit on everything I brought to eat, and anyone was welcome to it. I haven't had anything stolen since.

    I had plans for spiking stuff with laxatives or ipecac syrup if it continued. Yep. I was that mad.

    These will help prevent further lunch theft! I used to work in a restaurant where this happened all the time, which was ridiculous because we got free lunch so why eat steal one...

    Anyway buy these: http://www.ladiesgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Mold-Lunch-Bag-Keeps-Your-Sandwiches-Safe.jpg

    Ohhh man, that happens at my work! The location I use to work in was a shared building with another company and the people next door would eat our food all the damn time! They wouldn't even try to hide it :grumble:

    OMG!! My kids sneak into the fridge and drink the damn coffee creamer. I do all that normal parent stuff like scold them and but them in time outs. I was going to beat them with the bottle next, but I totally doing this instead. Sweet.


    **Please note: no children were harmed in the writing of this post. If I were to beat my little darlings when would laugh and run away. They fear me not.
