so my company provides refridgerators so people can put their lunch in them. as with all office fridges there is a certain amt of lunch theft. because i ride every day i started just bringing in my lunch meat and bread and make sandwiches here rather than carry it back and forth each day. one day i came into work and of the pound of ham i had the day before there were 3 slices left. i got angry, left a nasty note, and went hungry that day since i had no money to buy lunch with.(i literally didn't make enough to go buy lunch after i bought my supplies) the next day i brought in a mini-fridge that my sister had given me. i have kept my supplies in there for the past 4 years or so and not had a problem through job and building changes.
starting around january of this year i started to notice that my drinks would randomly go missing. it didn't happen often and i figured it was one of myt friends who wanted one. since there was no food missing it was no big deal, i make enough now to cover it. the past 2 months it has happened with increased frequency. at our quarter ends we are often here until 3am so i buy some energy drinks and snacks and put them in there. i dont' always use it all so some sits for the next time. on april 1 i had 4 cans in there. by april 7 i had 2 and was getting quite upset. I left a note and they left the soda and energy drinks alone and just took the water. i have come in and found chips and other sodas sitting on my desk. i don't leave things like that sitting out, and most of the time it was things that i don't like.
today i came in and there is a half empty can of my last energy drink sitting on my desk. I know i didn't open it. There was a bag of chips here from another cube. I'm getting angry now.
i realized that in jan we switched cleaning companies. because of where i started in this company i knew all of the night people, including the cleaners, and they knew me. now this new company comes in and overnight things start dissapearing.
i need someone to translate this into good spanish (i could translate it to bad spanish myself)
"If you are going to take my drinks at least finish them and pay me for them."
on the shef in the door above where the cans go i put this note
"Smile for the camera :)"
"Sonrie para la kamara" - can someone edit that for me?
i'm not knocking spanish speaking people. it jsut so happens that the people that now clean the building are native spanish speakers.
That sucks. I think it's time to start doctoring the cans. [evil]

there's no way to do that unless i run a chain around the width and heighth of the fridge.
the fridge is only like 2x2x2
pad lock was the first thing I thought of.
perhaps rig up something involving "electricity?"
Yes...booby trap time.
I once had a problem with someone using my hair grooming tools. I would find long dried out strands of blonde hair all intertwined in my stuff. One day I'd had enough, so I tucked some epoxy resin (no hardener) in between the barrel and clamp of an old curling iron. No more trouble.

i think that would get me in more trouble than it's worth to keep people out of the fridge.
i guess in theory i could mount something to put the lock on to the fridge. i would just have to bring in a drill and the hardware.
Reporting it to administration won't help? Maybe they could file a complaint with the cleaning company to get the guy fired. Here at school the janitors started swiping our stuff and using our things too. One of them even blew up our microwave when he was making his dinner one night. I was there when it happened too. All he did was throw out his stuff that blew up and close the doors back up and pretend nothing happened. >:( Then they started stealing our nice new chairs to sit their fat asses in while they watch tv in their closet for a few hours on end so we don't have enough chairs to sit in for class. >:(
It's possible you need to make it known that it's a private fridge, and not for any other person to be in. Might be a simple mis-understanding if you're dealing with non-english speakers ~
JM
So here's what you do.
1. video tape yourself wiping your ass with some bologne then placing it back in the package. Piss on the soda cans, and let it air dry.
2. Place the contaminated food in the fridge, and leave a note on the fridge door "WARNING, DO NOT EAT FOOD IN THIS FRIDGE."
3. When you notice the contaminated food is gone, place the video tape in the fridge with a note affixed to it, "PLAY ME"

it's under my desk. also, i don't care what language you speak, if there isn't express permission given why would you go into even a public fridge and just take something that you didn't put there. this is just a common courtesy thing. if it was the old cleaning crew i would simply ask them not to do it since i know them and they can't pull the "i don't speak english" routine.
i shouldn't have to mark in multiple languages that something tucked away under my desk and that usually only has a few drinks and some lunch meat at that time of night is not for public consumption.
Being under your desk removes any doubt it is not for public access. Different cultures do different things regarding privacy and such was all I was getting at. Sounds like that is NOT the case for you though ~
JM
this situation would annoy me as well...
i once had a co worker take my banana i left on my desk.
i cought them eating it and asked them to just ask me next time...
they said that they thought it was in the FREE ZONE!!! [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

obviously you haven't seen the work of our new cleaners.
in the bathrooms you get clean floors, toilet paper, or clean sinks. only one at a time. the paper towels are hit or miss though.
emptying the trash cans at people's desks involves dumping it out and putting it right back. no change of trash bag unless it's torn, regarless of contents. hope you can find another trash bag if you threw away food the day before and it got on the bag. esp if it was pungent to begin with.
sounds like the company needs a new cleaning crew :-\
buy a four pack of RedBull...pepper spray the hell out of them in parking lot....carefully place in fridge. Wait for cleaner guy to wipe his face/mouth/eyes when his lips start to burn...spend rest of night laughing your ass off.
Cant you just JB weld some sort of latch mechanism on it and secured by a lock going through so that it cant be opened? I think its better than a chain.
JB weld the loop part on the door and the hinge that swings to cover it in the top part of the fridge so that its not flopping around every time you open the fridge during the day and then you can latch it over the loop on the door at night. Its just a deterrent. IF you find the welding has been ripped off, then the guy really must have wanted a drink.
I think this option will cost you $5-7 total. $2-3 for the epoxy or JB weld, and another $2-4 for the latch and a cheep travel lock from lowes or wal-mart.

Glad I could offer an option. If you were to go this route, just make sure that the latch that swings over to cover the loop is not on the door. It WOULD interfere with closing the fridge door in the closed position (as every time you closes the door, it would ram into the loop) or while it is in the open position, the latch (which is now in the open position) can cut your leg or something

others have submitted complaints. that's what first brought my attn to the floors/TP situation.
and this is actually the first time i have said anything. i don't want to get people in trouble that are working 2 jobs just to make ends meet. esp when there's a chance that they will either be deported or stay in the country illegally.(but that's a topic for the politics board)

they'd do a better job.

It might not stick the the enamel a regular epoxy MIGHT stick better but sanding would be good (im not saying it is not going to stick at all, just maybe not as secure) Im not epoxy expert but i tend to my my epoxies on something smooth or plastic as its easier to clean if it happens to dry. The latch is going to cover the sanded area anyways so no big cosmetic damage.

i'm more worried about fumes than i am about cosmetic damage.
Fumes from the jb weld isnt as bad as from straight up epoxy. I view this more as a deterrent. If you pull hard enough, the epoxy could slide off the enamel if it has not bound itself to it. scuff it up a little and it should be fine.

I like this idea. There is also motion sensing web cam software out there. Just point the cam at the fridge. When someone comes up to the fridge, it starts recording. If it is the cleaning company, so the powers that be the video. If the cleaning folks are stealing drinks and such, what else are they stealing? A company I worked for lost laptops to the cleaning company.

that would require me to leave my laptop out. that's a big no-no and will result in getting me being written up as well. one day i dropped my id badge as i was leaving and the next day i had a note on my desk asking me to go to security. when i got there i had to jump through hoops jsut to get it back.
now that i have started writing some of these things i'm realizing just how much this company sucks. now i like my job even less. maybe it owuld be worth getting fired then :)

Don't bother leaving notes for the thieves, you think THEY care?
Go to your supervisor and tell him theft of personal items in your area, it started small and is escalating.
Call the cleaning service and get a supervisor and tell them the same.
Take a couple pictures of "before" when you leave, and leave some bait. Take "after" pictures when you return and repeat both phone calls above.
Get Them Fired.

already contacted the "authorities"
i talked to others in the area and several of them have had food items stolen from their desks. some were in plain sight (not that it matters)
I think I came up with a better note. just to scare them

A padlock is totally doable on a mini-fridge. Just need a drill and a rivet gun. Sheet metal screws work, too.

Square piece goes on the side of the door, foldy bit goes along the side of the fridge.
We have something similar on the geedunk fridges at work.
We also have a rule that if we're working past 2100, geedunk food becomes free.

btw, what's a geedunk?
Sorry, didn't read the whole thing. My bad.
Geedunk is a Navy/MC term for breakroom and/or cabinet containing junk food.
In our case, we've got a full-sized refrigerator with padlocks on the side for fridge and freezer doors. They appear to be riveted on, but like I said, you could use self-tapping sheet metal screws and a dab of silicone with the same results and a better seal.

Seriously.
Eat a bunch of chlorophyll.
Then take a dump in a bowl and mix in nuts and chocolate liquer to cover the smell. The Chlorophyll helps a lot to do this.
Put it in a small baking pan and smooth it out like brownies. Put nuts on top.
Cover it in plastic.
If you think it won't work, you're wrong.
We had a guy eat 2 before he realized it. We did not have it on camera.
he vomited immediately

Put it in a small baking pan and smooth it out like brownies. Put nuts on top.
Cover it in plastic.
If you think it won't work, you're wrong.
We had a guy eat 2 before he realized it. We did not have it on camera.
he vomited immediately
and he stopped stealing our food, the fat bastard.
Wow.
That's revenge to the nth degree.
Awesome.

Sooooo someone else's poop is probably out of the question, huh?

this guy had a food problem. his problem was that he stole everyone's food in the office. we shared a refrigerator and even kept beer in it for after-hours and weekends (we all had keys to the office). he almost ruined a good thing and someone needed to stop him.
i didn't do the crap brownies, but i know who did. the word went out "don't eat anyones brownies for a while"

Funny as that is, it's a good way to poison someone with e.Coli...

You know, when I suggested doctoring the food / drinks, I was thinking hot sauce, not.... [puke]

hey, why not go for broke? [beer]
hot sauce is too obvious, making fudge brownies out of perfumed poo is simply art.

I'm fairly sure that qualifies as assault.....

Depends on your creative writing abilities.
"I had clients coming in from the midwest. I wanted to take them out for steaks, but as I'm *almost* a vegetarian, I knew that the steaks would bind me up. I made some brownies and kept them by my desk just in case. I didn't think anyone would try to eat them. I mean, they were in my private fridge. Who would eat anything from under someone else's desk, your honor?"
Ask me how I know. ;)

In military school, my mother would send me care packages of brownies. The senior class pukes that delivered the mail would go thru our care packages and eat or take anything they wanted. After 2 packages of brownies were intercepted, my mom sent a package of brownies with a couple of boxes of Ex-lax mixed into them. The sight of half of the upper class running for the shitters every ten minutes was totally worth not getting my brownies. [evil]

not in any legal system which I've worked in.
if someone is stealing your stuff, then generally whatever happens to them is their fault, except where the harm is a lethal trap such as a spring gun.
eating poo or ex-lax isn't lethal.

It doesn't have to be lethal to be assault.
While they should be eating the stuff in the first place, putting out unfit food with the expectation others will eat it, sounds like cause harm with the intent to cause harm. While I doubt it would really stick, it's enough to make ones life more difficult than a missing energy drink.

it's true (lethality) but there is the requirement of directional intent of touching, and in this case, the "harmed" party would be initiating the touching, not the owner of the fridge.
in other words, once you step across the threshold and cause the touching, then you can't claim assault.
same thing if you break into someone's house and they beat you with a frying pan.
if you're stealing from someone's fridge and eat their science experiment, then whatever happens to you is your fault, not theirs.

it's more than 1 energy drink. it's food from many people. multiple drinks, and some food from my fridge.
i'm still not going to subject anyone to eating poo. ex-lax mabe. ipicac possibly, just no poo.
Combo of ipecac AND exlax!
damn, everybody is just plain mean! i'll go the different route and suggest you write a small lie that basically states you have diabetes or some other medical problem. so i suggest you write this in both English AND Spanish to avoid any confusion.
“Por favor no tome o coma nada de este refrigerador. Tengo un problema medico que requiere que mantenga mi nivel de azucar en la sangre estable. Esta comida y bebidas me ayudan mantenerme saludable. Gracias.â€
TRANSLATED-
Please don't drink or eat anything out of this refrigerator. I have a medical condition that requires me to keep a stable blood sugar level. This food and drinks help me stay healthy. Thanks.
let me know if you need anything else translated 8)
DON'T FALL FOR IT KNIGHT!!!
That actually translates to "Please do not leave any food in this refrigerator. I have a medical problem which requires me to eat as little as possible. By eating and drinking all of this you will help me live. Thanks."
Silvy, you should be ashamed of yourself. >:(

i could write something that might leave roses and chocolates along with other stuff on your desk instead, but of course everybody in your office will think your queer [laugh]
maybe ive been playing too muchGTA, but you should go to 8ball, get him to build you a bomb and set it to the fridge so the next person who opens the door dies. And in case the bomb doenst go off, you should get an RPG and point it at the fridge in wait.
Of course there are always Pot brownies or food with LSD....
But the LSD thing, maybe not a good idea. you never know how someone might react to that.

that and the whole federal charges thing.
i'm fairly certain i have heard cases where someone made pot brownies and left them out to teach someone a lesson. the person that made them wound up getting sent to prison for aggravated assault and felony drug charges.

i will bait the fridge with a couple of doctored cans.

I think you should do it anyway. It'd be hilarious for us when you post that you forgot which can had the ipecac in it and you ended up puking all over your desk.

[laugh] WTF
actually, nothing has happened since we lodged a formal complaint and then went over the normal escalation route and straight to the people in charge of the cleaning crew.
we got a mostly new cleaning crew a few days afterwards and there have been no problems since. at least none that i'm aware of.
also, that fridge is so small i couldn't keep my lunchmeat and a soda in there. and where do i keep the mayo? i'd need 3 of them!

You'd have to buy at least two fridges. :P
i know!
i don't have enough usb ports open for that.
Get a multi USB splitter, you can get like 8 plugged into one port! That's a 6 pack and one fridge for meat, the other for mayo!
