Worked in an office with your own milk evaporating?

Here's how you can use game theory to stop people stealing your milk at work - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-25/heres-how-you-can-stop-people-stealing-your-milk/9041956)

Those ideas look better than one used in Perth Office I worked in. Shared milk with 10 others. My turn to buy. Picked up 2 litres. It was gone 10 minutes later. Picked up another 2 litres. It was also gone 30 minutes later[tonguewink]

I started drinking black coffee from then on! Some of the others had the same issue over the next few days. One put POISON on a bottle and allegedly added laxatives. Enough to give you the ****s [biggrin]

It wasn't me but I did laugh lots when the bottle was used by the milk thief

When I worked in a city office building one of the night security guards used to pilfer a frozen jam donut out of one of the tenant's fridges. The owner used to buy then in bulk and freeze them. This went on for months until the donuts were baited with laxative. All that was need to catch the bandit was to see who had the runs. [thumbsupbig]

We don't seem to have too much trouble with this anymore. I walked in, watched the thief and promptly told them to **** off. Problem solved [wink11]

In every office or workshop that has an honour system for lunches and milk there are usually those that have less honour than others and abuse the system.
Setup a go pro somewhere to find out who the "Fridge Rat" is would work [thumbsupbig][bigwhistle]

I did that, once. Put Agarol in it. My milk was thrown out.
When I asked why my milk was thrown out, a co-worker said "It was off".
"How did you know it was off?" I asked.

Milk thief identified.

Another thing to do is put food colouring in it.

I know it's slightly off topic but I know a bloke who had his sandwiches and cream bun stolen so he filled the bun with black Molybdenum grease and popped it back into his lunch box. Needless to say, the thief was found pretty quickly! [bigrolf]

Not after he also steals the GoPro. [bigwhistle]

Many years ago we had a problem at one site where I worked. Food would disappear from the freezer on midnight shifts. We had a pretty good idea who was taking it, so one of the plant officers took the label off a can of braised steak and veges (or similar) and glued it onto a can of Pal dog food and put it in the cupboard.

It went and the miscreant was left wondering why everyone was calling him "pal" after he complained the food was off.

We had that many moons ago when I worked on Bougainville Island. We used to pick up pies etc. for morning smoko at the mess and stick them in the fridge then a few minutes before smoko one of us would stick them in the pie warmer...... and lots would disappear.
We complained and they caught the miscreant who was a local and he just wolfed them down red hot straight out of the warmer. He got his own back by getting heaps of turds wrapped up in cloth and throwing it under the crib room where the stink came up through the cracks in the floorboards. Put us off our pies.... [bigsad]
He got the sack from memory.
Much more recently until I retired, I worked at a TAFE and milk kept disappearing..... the HR manager got caught taking it! And he drank lots of tea the bastard. No apology from him either.
I gave up taking milk in my tea so it didn't bother me.

A while back someone was taking milk from the fridge in the office where my wife worked.

After hers had been raided a few times she put a note on the bottle saying it was hers and don't steal it.

She was told that was inappropriate, nothing was done about the thief!

Where?
Panguna?
The mine?
Loloho?

I had a bit to do with the gas turbine at Loloho and the ball mills and concentrator at Panguna Mine.
Not much of it left now

At a job I was on a while back, one of the lab workers used to leave a pie in a sample drying oven overnight and have it for breakfast when he started work in the morning. Whenever one particular crew was on night shift in the mill, the pie would always go missing.

So, when this same crew was due back on night shift after this had been going on for a while, the owner of the missing pies caught a mouse in one of the flour bins in the fire assay fluxing room one day, knocked it on the head, carefully lifted the lid on a pie and scooped enough meat out to make enough room and placed the dead mouse inside the pie. He then carefully replaced the lid, and placed the pie in the usual position in the sample drying oven.

We never did find out who was knocking off the pies ......................... but that was the last one that ever went missing. [biggrin]

Concentrator Mick in '76. Lived in Panguna. Used to drive down the hill to have a wee drink with one or two of the lads every now and again and so went through Loloho. One good thing about Bougainville was I gave up smoking there. [biggrin]
Should have saved me thousands since then but I spent it all on beer...... and the odd barmaid. [bighmmm]
