I work in an office with only a few people. I occasionally bring my lunch, so I like to keep a case of cold drinks in the fridge. From time to time, one goes missing, or so I thought, so I began writing down how many are left at the end of each day. I went on vacation, came back, and someone stole 6x drinks. How should I proceed? I do have security footage, but before I scour it to see if I can even see who the thief is, I'd like the OT's opinions on the worst course of action to take.

My first thought was to stop using the work fridge for my drinks, but leave a case of decoys there, upon which I would piss upon and then put them back in the case. Then after the thief returns, leave a note stating that he/she has been drinking my piss off the top of Coke cans for a week. But I know you guys can come up with something better, so have at it, what you got?

Go buy what was taken. Find out who it was. Give receipt to person. Ask for payment.

you could ask whoever is doing it to stop and hope being adults is sufficient.

Put a jar next to the case. Write on the jar "Cokes - $1.00"

How should I proceed?

1. Identify thief using said footage.

2. Call thief from a restricted number.

3. Identify yourself as a police officer.

4. Say his wife has been involved in a serious accident.

5. Say the hospital tried everything they could do to revive her.

6. Mention that nothing could be done, because the doctor was missing.

7. When they are officially broken down in tears, say "That's what happens when Dr. Pepper is missing from the fridge."

8. Hang up.

9. Win.

Scorched earth is the only acceptable policy at this point.

Keep the case in your office but don't let anybody know. Only keep 1-2 cold ones in the fridge. The thief probably won't take any if they think you will notice. That is how I solved the same issue when I lived in a frat house

someone was fired at my work for doing the exact same thing when they setup a camera on a fridge.
