So where I work, there has recently been a thief. This happens in all work places from time to time, I know, but this one is more than a little peculiar. Usually the theft has to do with lunches, and on very rare occassions the thief is after money. Of course, whenever we bust the thieves, they are immediatley fired. We haven't busted this one yet.

But here are two instances of thievery that are apparently the same person. The thief in question is taking money from coats in the coat closet. In the first case fifteen dollars were in the coat, but only the five was taken. Weird? A litte, considering that both bills were in a wad. But still not nearly as strange as the following issue. There was a ten in the coat... The thief took the ten, bought whatever they bought, and returned seven dollars. They're making change? Is it some attempt at honesty? It reminds me of borrowing money from mom.

Any weird thievery stories from you?

no stories from me but that there is some pretty wierd stuff. like maybe if i lost a 10 i would think it would have fallen out of my pockets cuz money always does that but when you have a 5 and two ones where your ten used to be it kinda makes the theft obvious. i wonder what he will do when he strikes next

Eat your lunch and critique your cooking?

Make some Ex-Lax brownies and put them in with the lunch stuff - then stand back and see who gets the sh*ts in the next couple of hours.

That'll be Mr. sticky fingers...

Yeah, but this person is just taking money and making change.

Someone stole all the nameplates in our office once.

Two weeks later, they were all back. In different places.

That was weird.

Sorry, I thought you said he was stealing lunch AND money.

Just out of curiosity - "why" are people leaving money unattended in a coat room??

Why are they leaving money unattended in a closet? That's what I ask them each time they report it.

Put a web cam in there... technically speaking - I guess it would be a closet cam then.

That's not weird - it's funny!

I took my girlfriend's virginity. But that wasn't really weird or funny.

But I do suggest putting mousetraps in all the coat pockets. That's how my girlfriend's mom found out who took her virginity.

Actually, given your personality, that is kind of weird. (insert smiley)

Wouldn't she have to put them in her pants pockets for that??

Not the way I do it.

I'd explain, but it really needs pictures to be understood.

If you were to write a note and put it in your coat pocket, anyone going through them looking for cash would be sure to find it... Particularly if the same note was in every pocket in the closet. Write something that would make him/her feel as if they're being watched or everyone knows who the thief is.
Maybe something about coming out of the closet...

...or perhaps a photo of you using the currency as toilet paper.

Here you go:



Just spray some of this (I'd use the detection spray) on some money, put it in a coat pocket (might make sure it’s the only coat in the closet with money), and stand back. After it disappears, ask for a show of hands.
Don't you just love modern technology?

Incidently, I once worked on a golf course (a fairly nice one), where someone had stolen the hole number sign. Which was odd because the thing was probably three feet by four and carved out of an inch-thick slab of marble. No telling how much it weighed or how they got past the pro shop to the parking lot without being seen with it. Souvenir, anyone?

good idea.

There's a slightly mentally retarded woman at work who eats people's food out of the fridge. I just don't keep food in the fridge anymore. She also walks around the store eating cookies and junk out of the bulk bin. She's not so messed up that she doesn't realize this is wrong - she's totally scamming. Everyone is too PC to tell her to her face to cut that s**t out (I would, but it's not my job). I swear on my next job I'm gonna tell them when I get hired that I'm retarded, then get paid to sit around eating cookies all day.

The perfect use for ASS PENNIES!

Possibility there were 2 similar coats and someone reached into the wrong coat thinking it was there own? I have occasionally found money in the pocket of a coat, and not recalled putting it there. Maybe they took the coat, found $10 in the pocket, bought a big mac and stuck the paper back in the pocket, returned to work and hung the coat back up?
