I don't know how often this happens within other companies or even in other places at my company, but we have a food thief on the loose. My loss has been a couple of diet cokes that I put in the fridge, which is frustrating but not that big of a deal. I've talked to other people that have had their leftovers and other food items taken. But the heist yesterday really takes the cake, literally. Yesterday another group on my floor was having a small birthday party for a guy named Kapil. It was to be a surprise, and they put his cake in the conference room and then went around to gather everyone on their team. By the time they got back to the conference room their cake was gone. I still can't believe it. The cake said "Happy Birthday Kapil" on it, so it's not like someone else could mistake that birthday cake for their own. So now security has been notified and someone put a note on the fridge threatening to put laxitives in some food in case the food thief strikes again. All I can say is if the food thief continues and gets caught there is going to be a lynching. :-)
