    Personally I can't say I have ever had the pleasure of smelling my colleagues' pee :eek:

    :rotfl: Me either! That idea also wouldn't work if it was a bloke stealing the food as you're not going to go into the blokes toilet to check out the aroma! :p

    Also OP, I wouldn't do as some have mentioned. I wouldn't put laxatives in the food. Not only would they get into trouble for stealing your food, but you would too for purposely going out to cause harm.

    Get an extremely concentrated chilli sauce. I got one for a friend so strong that a single drop made the food almost too hot to eat. Put the entire bottle in. Whoever spends the afternoon in hospital is your thief.

    I probably wouldn't admit it your lunch though.

    I've never understood this thing about food with names on in communal fridges. The other day I ate a sandwich called 'Colin' and a doughnut named 'Marcia'
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    not if you are clever about it! 'yes boss, I coated my chicken strips in laxatives as I have been feeling very constipated recently and thought it would help - I didn't realize X was going to eat it' ;-)

    Who would believe that you would decide to take laxatives with your lunch at work??

    I'd say I'm constipated and I can't swallow tablets so crush laxatives into my food for personal use and I wasn't expecting anyone to steal it...

    Garlic. Make something really garlicky. It won't hurt the person, but you'll know who it is by the smell. Then you could say in a loud voice "Someone's pinched my garlic whatever".

    Then watch out for the person stuffing their face with mints!

    Maybe this person cannot afford to provide own lunch.

    Stealing from a colleague is still unacceptable.

    Yes of course it is.
    are you brave enough to address everyone en masse, and ask for it to stop?
