Thieves in the lunch room

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Thieves in the lunch room (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 2/22/2007 11:31:10 AM EDT

Lately at my workplace, someone has been stealing lunches out of the refrigerator.

Food has had the seal broken like someone tasted the food and then left it.

I really cannot fathom how some dirty SOB could do this to the people they work with everyday. Do they sell a padlock for lunchboxes?

Or, grind-up a few Niacin supplement tablets in which to flavor the food. Should give the perp a good case of red-face.

Leave some ham out in the sun for a few days. Make a ham sandwich out of it, and leave it where the thief can find it. You can identify him/her when he's out from work for 3 days with food poisoning.

Years ago we had a lunch thief at the factory i worked at. It was a BIG guy. So a bunch of us saved our old work boots till we got enough of them. On night one of us brought in EX-Lax chocolate chip cookies, we went around to all of the rest rooms, placed a pair of boots in each stall and then locked each one. Those of us who caught the show later almost wet their pants watching this guy run from rest room to rest room looking for an open stall.
Hot sauce sandwhiches work well too.

Nice thing about it, if used corrrectly, everyone will assume either food poisoning or stomach flu.

Water line tracer dye. One teaspoon is enough to dye 100 gallons of water. Put a little of that on your sandwich, and he'll be peeing and sweating bright red for a day or two. That ought to make him stand out.

My grandfather did the ex-lax chocolate bar back in the day when he used to work in the coal mines here in IL... from what I've been told, having to take an emergency core dump is not a good thing when you're 2 miles underground.

Carefully open an "oreo" type cookie and very carefully cut a cicle out of the frosting leaving a ring of frosting on one side of the cookie. Fill the void with the filling of your choice. I like ground red pepper, but you may be more evil than that. Put the two halves back together again and put into a baggie in your lunch bag.

Hilarity ensues...

hollow out a little puddle inside your oreo's, and fill it Tabasco....just tell him you like your food hot!

hell, if you get questioned after the fact, just say it's difficult for you to swallow the pills, so you bake them into brownies for ease of consumption. You had no idea someone was going to steal your medicinal brownies.

eta: better yet, say you have to take your ex-lax in the middle of the day but it's embarrassing to do it out in the open.

I wouldn't write my name on the bag or anything. No way to prove whose food it was, unless they want to start dusting for prints, and I doubt the police are going to get that involved.

back when I was younger I lived at this place that was the social gathering/hangout spot for all our friends and their friends. bastards kept taking things from our fridge. Finally got fed up with it so I bought a bottle of hawaiian punch, drank some and then replaced the missing punch with a small bottle of syrup of ipecac.

About a week later, half the bottle was gone, and there was a trail of vomit out the door, down three flights of stairs and down the sidewalk. I had no idea it was physically possible to hold that much vomit! good times I tell ya...

Pick out something good to take in. Run a batch in it. Don't leave your name on it. After it is gone, post an anonymous note describing your dirty deed. Enjoy your cold dish of revenge.

Boot polish on the bottom of a sandwich is good. Leaves a mark.

I had a problem with people stealing my food when I was stationed overseas.

I'm Chinese and my buddies know it. So I started labeling my food with "Diced Chicken, strips of dog meat with noodles." I never had a problem afterwards.

Another time, I had a problem with officers taking my fav coffee cup. I put a waterproof label on it that said, " Strep-throat infected cup, DO NOT USE."

Again, never had a problem since then.

Go to a health food store and get a bottle of APPLE PECTIN tablets. Not expensive at all. Pulverize the tablets into powder and mix the powder in any food or drink. APPLE PECTIN is a vitamin supplement for fiber, but pectin is the stuff in apples that causes gas = fart. ONE tablet will make plenty of gas. Two or three powdered tablets of this in food / drink will cause LOUD and LONG stinkies!!!!! voyola!!!!! you have found the thief!

Two words-

Gentian Violet

I had a problem with beer disappearing from my cooler. A single Budweiser on top of the ice and a stern warning to my date to ONLY drink Miller solved my problem.

Later that night I heard someone say, "Drinsky's upstairs burshing his teeth, and his mouth is all PURPLE!"

Gentian violet's worst common side effect is staining skin and cloth, but if used on ulcerations or open wounds it can cause tattooing. It is generally considered safe for use on children and breastfeeding mothers. It has even been applied to the mouth and lips of premature infants, and has a long history of safe use. Many have recommended it for thrush on the nipple, and La Leche League lists gentian violet as a possible alternative.[1] However, in large quantities, gentian violet may lead to ulceration of a baby's mouth and throat and is linked with mouth cancer. Dr. Sears recommends using it sparingly.[2] Gentian violet has also been linked to cancer in the digestive tract of other animals.[3]

When using gentian in order to purple skin or jackets, care should be taken to mix only low concentrations of the crystal into warm water. This avoids the material attaining a golden hue. Additionally, jackets with a waterproof coating should be scrubbed lightly with a scrub pad or light grade sand paper before dyeing.[4]

This worked for me.

Go to your local police supply store, buy the dusting powder (can't remember the brand I used right now) that turns their hands any of a variety of colors the next time they wash their hands.

Make a sandwich. Put sandwich in a wrap of some type and then dust the outside of the wrap. Put the wrapped sandwich inside another container.

Wait.

"Hey Steve, what happened to your hands?"

I worked with a guy that got tired of having his dr peppers stolen so he took a dr pepper can and drilled a hole in the bottom and then filled it up with skoal spit and then sealed it with rtv .
