I've had a mini refrigerator in my office for at least 5 years. Ain't nobody got time to share fridge space with the common folk. Bonus - you don't need to leave your seat to retrieve food/drink.
You'd be correct.
If that happened to me I'd sue the guy/gal and make sure they were punished. I didn't mean you'd do something like that. Sorry for the bad example.
Get . . . wait for it . . . THE FRIDGE LOCKER

Or search google for 'lockable food container' - although this is going to mostly give you locking storage containers.
taking that much space in a workplace fridge says 'PLEASE FUCK WITH MY SHIT'
i could see a fridge full of those employer supplied one per person containers working.On the contrary, if more people used containers like that, the space in the fridge would be used far more efficiently.
Who would EVER put ex-lax in their food in the attempt to expose a food thief? Such an act could be construed as intent to poison someone even if the food were not intended for the thief.

LOL! That’s awesome.First day of work at my very first job and I walked into the break room to see my first ever boss eating my lunch. I must have just stood there and stared like an idiot because he asked me what was wrong and I told him he was eating my lunch. Turns out he and I had the exact same taste in microwaveable meals and he thought it was just one he had forgotten he had brought (since no one else there ate those). He told me to pick a place and he would buy my lunch from there.
That was almost 20 years ago and I don't think its ever happened again.
Someone took an ENTIRE quiche? That's a rather large item.
Yep. She was planning on eating it throughout the week. Gone. Another guy brought in a loaded dinner plate with chicken, rice and beans on it wrapped in plastic wrap. Somebody actually ate all the chicken and left the rice/beans alone and put the plate back in the fridge. It takes some set of balls to pull shit like this...
I'm surprised no one has suggested the idea of a surveillance camera. A pinhole camera in a bottle of Ipecac or something else no one would ever touch could work. And they're so cheap now that even if it gets stolen it's no great loss. Plus if you happen to catch the thief or thieves, there's always the chance you could get them suspended or fired. It would be well worth the effort and potential expense. The battery life on a small usb camera should be good enough to last at least one 8-9 hour work day.

I mean its a great idea in theory only though. Who has time to sit there and review 8-9 hours of footage for every day it sits in the fridge?
That reminded me of a Douglas Adams anecdote.First day of work at my very first job and I walked into the break room to see my first ever boss eating my lunch.

If only it didn't involve sitting in the kitchen all day with some device in hand.if only there was some way to capture a video of the thief in action
LOL, I was chuckling even before the punchline. I didn't know about it, thanks for posting.That reminded me of a Douglas Adams anecdote.
