put an note in the fridge : you stole my food three times. Hope you enjoyed the food I cooked. You owe me three lunch. I know your name. I've got footage of you. Either we do it this way, or I'm walking to HR. Your call buddy, let's see how good a cook you are

Yeah and I'm sure if he did cook anything he wouldn't do anything dodgy to the food.
 
I know it saves money to pack a lunch and its better...but stuff like this makes you think...wtf are people doing to your food while you are gone...I get to paranoid to eat it by the time lunch comes around lol.
 
Oh people use to steal my food and drinks every day at this one job a long time ago. Two shifts of lunchtime and I was on second shift. Some dicks on first shift ate food from us who had good food from second shift.

HR was no help since no camera's in break room. I just had to resort to packing my meals in a pack near me with ice packs to keep it cool and fresh. All I wanted back then was to know who did so I could get some payback.

Eat a can of sweetcorn.

Do not chew (important).

Recover sweetcorn during your next bowel movement.

Make yourself a delicious tuna sweetcorn salad.

...............That seems overtly complicated and really freaking gross. I don't think the OP wants to sift through his poop.
 
I second all the posts involving laxatives. It's your food, so if you get in trouble you can always say you intended to eat that shit yourself.

Don't know how ethical that would be though, or if it would go against your company rules. And this reminded me, yesterday we left a juice box in the fridge that had been left out in the open during the whole weekend. I should go check if someone drank that shit.
 
Thread string through mentos candy, suspend gently in top of plastic bottle of diet cola, affix string with cap. Insert cola into brown bagged lunch. Lots of pretzels.

Wait for cries of panic.

What, steal lunches at a workplace? You better believe it happens. I'm still floored every time someone tells me about it happening though; you'd think as adults people would be beyond that kind of bullshit.
 
One time I stayed up late to prepare my favorite meal. Packed away some for lunch. The next day I was super hungry, looking so forward to the food I slaved away on. Opened the fridge in the breakroom to discover the container empty. I was livid.
 
I've had someone take a half eaten Chipotle burrito. Then I started writing messages in sharpie on the outside of that the next time about what kind of crazy diseases I supposedly had.
I ended up just bringing in a cooler after having my lunch stolen for the 3rd time

Haha my grandpa did this for my dad when he was little. Kids kept stealing his lunch and so my grandpa put some kind of laxative in the food and they shit their pants lol.

Since you already reported it to HR I wouldn't leave a passive aggressive note now because they will know it was you.
 
Did you have your stuff clearly labelled?

I still think it's pretty unreasonable to just take what's there, but I also wouldn't feel like my food was safe in the shared fridge unless my name was on it.
 
Maybe he can't afford to bring lunch and has resorted to stealing to eat. Maybe that is the only meal they get all day. Whatever. There may be other reasons why his is stealing,,,

Make two lunches. Put his name on one and leave it for him. Do this until he stops accepting the other lunch and he will probably stop stealing.
 
What a douche. I hope he is publicly shamed and embarrassed by this.

Who the fuck does that? Like... I can't even...
 
Maybe his wife or mom packs his lunch and he honestly has no idea what's in it and he thought it was his lunch the whole time?

Ha, just kidding, guy is a jerk. Need an update OP though. Did you go through with reporting him to HR?

Yeah, really.

In my experience, there has to be a critical mass of people. At very small places it's too obvious and there's so few suspects that you'd be too easily found out.

Once you get to around ~20-25 people sharing a break room there's enough that some fucker will inevitably start stealing milk, sugar, biscuits, etc. If they keep getting away with it larger items go missing until full lunches are being thieved.

I'm surprised no one's done a proper study of this phenomenon. I'd definitely be interested to read it!

As far as sabotaging your food, laxative is easily the best choice. That way you'll get an idea who's taking it, if they're stupid enough to actually eat it more than twice.

This could be a test by someone though. Don't go overboard.

Scotch bonnets would be a better idea. Puree them and put them on your sandwich... that'll teach em.
