Here’s what someone I knew did when his housemate kept stealing from his wallet: he used one of those pinhole cameras and caught the culprit on tape. And threatened that he would bring this to the police. Not only, did the housemate pay back all the money he stole PLUS extra, the housemate also moved out within 3 days!

That would annoy the crap out of me. Our office had someone steal the toys we were collecting for the Toys for Tots program one Christmas. After hours, so likely someone on the cleaning staff.

Why can’t your security department set up a hidden vidcam — is it because the problems aren’t costly (yet)?

Dag now that messed up. I know one coworker got nailed by the IT department because housekeeping was watching porn on it and the only reason we knew it was because she told them to look at what time it was and when they saw it was like 3 AM they knew it wasn’t her.

at my last job, my computer suddenly had pop-ups galore for sex and gambling sites. the it department got a kick out of it, but i didn’t think it was funny. i checked my history and the person that was using my computer was selling something on ebay, so i contacted the seller and told them to get their grubby hands off of my computer or i will report them and they will be unemployed.

no one touched my computer again.

Oh my goodness! Why are they “still” the housekeepers? I think you can still find itching powder in joke shops, or maybe through Spencer Gifts … just sayin’! Oh, and KY Jelly could be mistaken for snot. :twisted:

It’s hard for me to imagine something better than superglue in the lotion bottle. That had me laughing hard in real life. I’m pretty sure you’d probably find out shortly after if they used it or not, as their hand would be stuck to the next thing they touched and wouldn’t be able to remove it, lol.

I would go insane working in your workplace though. Stuff like that drives me NUTS. I’d go witht he superglue and please, post about how that goes. lol.

That must be so annoying. I like the shoe polish/snot/superglue idea. They need to taught a lesson alright.

I have run into this same problem at work. I too left a bottle of lotion on my desk and notice how quickly it’s contents were diminishing before my eyes. They also stole a co-worker’s lighter. You always hate to just accuse but there are cases when you know who it was. Sounds like better background checks need to be done before hiring these people. I finally said something to my boss and it was taken care of.

Well the “snot” gives me an idea as these plugs are black I could get some shoe polish to put on them.

That must be sooo annnoying. I’ve never had a problem like that – especially not the fact that they do it so openly and without any shame!! The ought to be taught a lesson, really!!

I’m sure the glue in the lotion will work, but there much be some kind of prank you can find for the plugs too.

Like putting something ‘snot’ like on it?

I dunno.

Still it would irritate the shit out of me!!!

You seem to be MUCH cooler about it than I would’ve been.
