Our office has a teaspoon thief! 50 of things were bought for the office kitchen less than a month ago, now we have 4.
So fellow pistonheadians I need your ideas on how to oust, shame and humiliate said thief and stop their dirty thieving ways.
Well that will just stir up trouble.So fellow pistonheadians I need your ideas on how to oust, shame and humiliate said thief and stop their dirty thieving ways.

Sad, very sad that someone bothered to do that - but what would science be without whimsyhttp://www.bmj.com/content/331/7531/1498
I don't really get how teaspoons end up taken by mistake.
I normally use a teaspoon for tea, or for eating a yoghurt or something, and they're in disposable packaging anyway.
Forks on the otherhand, I am guilty of taking those home. Grab one from the canteen, go and eat your homemade lunch and then they both end up home together.

Perhaps you have some particularly collectable spoons?

If you have read all 35 pages of this thread, you will understand that it becomes an addiction and adherents are quite unable to control their urges should a rare or interesting spoon present itself.

We have the same problem in my office, it is over several floors and the cleaner always collects all the mugs etc and cleans them on one floor, never the same floor mind you.l It's then the morning rush up and down the stairs to find where all the mugs and spoons are, less you be left with the old rusty one.
We always get a company wide biannual cutley amnesty email from the canteen, with a threat that they will be forced to replace the meal service with a finger buffet if not returned.
If it's like me and pens, I regularly bring a large collection of biros back into work. I tend them to put them in my pocket during the day, and take them out at home before going to bed, building up a small collection in the process.

A similar thing occurred in my office about three years ago. I fired all the coffee drinkers. No teaspoon has been stolen since that time. Instant Coffee drinkers are kleptomaniacs by nature. Get rid of them and, your precious teaspoons will be safe.
I'm surprised that Instant coffee drinkers were employable in the first place.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
