food theft

[El Matador]

write this:

"Yo tengo Ebola, la comida tambien esta contaminada. Si no se quiere morir, no toque esta comida"

Translates to:

I have the ebola virus. The food is also contaminated. If you do not wish to die, do not eat this food

Its a quote from a movie. A cookie to the first one name the title and the character.

It's from Revenge of the Nerds, but I don't remember who said it.

It was probably Booger though.

Si tome mis bebidas, por lo menos que bébelas y págueme.

¡Di patata!

garcias!!!

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
"I have been waiting to leave this note. i hope you wiped off the rim before you drank this.  "

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.

get those lil pills that the dentist gives to kids that turn thier teeth red (to highlight plaque), grind them up, and place it in your food..... you'll know who the bad guy/gal is in a couple of hours

[Grampa]

I think so. I think there is candy out there that does it too.

I've thought long and hard about your situation, and I've come up with a solution...






go down to your bank and see if they'll lend you an exploding ink packet 

it will be easy to find your culprit then, he'll have a blue face.

that's what we were discussing attaching with the jbweld earlier.


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.

i don't really want to bring a drill into work so i'm gonna stick with the jb or other epoxy and hope it doesn't smell too bad.


i figured it had to do with junk food, i just wasn't sure.

[Rameses]

Dammit!!  That looks tasty.  Now I have to go to the grocery store.

I had the same issue at my old office. 'Cept this wasn't a cube-it was my office. Somehow, even though I had a lock on the door and no windows, shit kept disappearing. I mentioned this to the night crew, and also mentioned further infractions were meet with a firing of the culprit. They denied all knowledge.


I got a ride to work from a buddy later on that week, and before the night crew came in, I locked up the office, shut off the lights, and sat waiting at my desk.



I fired the first guy who came in (no idea how he managed to get a key). Problem stopped after that
