Theft at work

[skyring]

Kerri has been complaining about people stealing food out of the lunch room fridge at her work. She had a small tub of yogurt go missing recently. Kerri loves her yogurt and she made some pretty pointed comments about people having to be careful of food thieves. So everyone at her work is on the lookout for whoever it is who has been lifting food.

OK. Now remember that meal that I crunched up recently? Kerri reckoned that I'd eaten all the glass in it, and she put some leftovers into a plastic container for her lunch the next day. She also took a small tub ofAldi yogurt because she loves her yogurt. She put both items in a blue plastic bag so that the food thief wouldn't have an easy target, got to work, put it all in the fridge and went off to her office.

Comes lunchtime, and she's not feeling that hungry and doesn't want the crunchy pasta, but she needs her yogurt. She loves her yogurt. So she goes to the fridge, grabs the Aldi yogurt on the shelf, eats it up and sails through the afternoon. Comes to going home time and she goes to retrieve her leftovers in the plastic container.

She goes to the fridge, pulls out the blue plastic bag and looks inside. Yup, there's her leftovers in the plastic container. And the tub of Aldi yogurt beside it, both exactly as she left them there that morning!

We had a fridge thief at college. It really is annoying to have your food stolen. I found a "Dr & Quinch" cartoon in which they advised someone whose milk was being nicked from the fridge to replace milk in a bottle with an unstable liquid explosive..."then when the milk-happy scuzzbucket pours it over his cornflakes...BOOM!". I stuck the cartoon to the fridge door - more to vent my annoyance than anything, but the thefts did stop :-)

I got sick of it, so I used to put a pint of milk topped up with tasty shampoo back into the fridge. It had a sticker on - THIS MILK HAS BEEN CONTAMINATED WITH SHAMPOO.

After a few weeks the milk stopped getting nicked & I stopped adding the shampoo.

Lucky you didn't use the real thing!
