Employee grows tired of unknown coworker stealing their lunch, so they cleverly replace it with disguised dog food, forcing coworker to stop: ‘Sure enough, the theft stopped within a week’

There is an episode in Friends where Ross has a breakdown because someone eats his sandwich at work, and he doesn't know who did it. And although the scenario in the show is hilarious, surely we can all understand his pain and annoyance over something like that.

Think about it, an employee spent time, effort, and money into making themselves lunch they can eat at work, only to have someone anonymously take it and eat it themself – The audacity is unbelievable! How can someone do that with a clear conscience? How can they later look that person in the eyes and act like they didn't steal this one small moment of happiness during a long day of work? Cruelty at its finest, if you ask me.

If something like that happens once, it's unfortunate but can be forgotten. If it happens twice, maybe you should consider putting a threatening note on your food, to warn others from taking it. If it happens again, then serious actions should be taken.

The employee in this petty revenge story took matters into their own hands after a coworker repeatedly stole their lunch from under their nose, and it wasn't long before they got the thief to stop. How did they pull it off? You'll have to keep reading to find out…

At this point, OP (original poster) knows without a doubt that whoever is stealing their food, they are doing it on purpose, and they do not care.
The only solution to dealing with someone so clearly entitled and disrespectful is teaching them a lesson, which is exactly what OP decided to do…
