i thought for a moment that maybe i was going crazy - why would someone in the office steal cereal?
i left for my trip to Colorado back in February with an almost full box of honey nut cheerios sitting on my desk. i trust my office mate and know he wouldn't eat my cereal - he has his own afterall. but i came back from vacation and when i went to eat my morning breakfast, i noticed the cereal was almost empty. funny. i thought it was almost full. i figure a full week of vacation can sometimes play tricks on the mind so i thought nothing of it. but now. NOW. i have solid evidence.
i bought a box of special k red berries cereal a couple weeks ago. i had one bowl and almost threw up. EW. horrible stuff. imo of course. i left this box of cereal on my desk completely untouched until today when i said to my office mate, hey, do you want this cereal? i can't stand eating it. he opened it and said... erm. it's almost empty - you sure you don't like this stuff? i turned around and was like.. omg. i'm not crazy. there is someone out there, eating my cereal! he thought maybe i had eaten it subconsciously but how could i have? the stuff makes me want to throw up. if i had subconsciously eaten it while working, i'm sure i'd remember the experience of wanting to regurgitate it.
so. anyone. any ideas on how to catch this thief redhanded??

maybe you could lace the cereal with laxatives? this is pretty much one of my friends from res did when someone ate all of his precious hagen-daaz. he mixed chunks of chocolate-flavoured laxatives in some chunky fudge ice cream and caught the person with their pants down literally in the boys' bathroom.
or, to get that person to stop, place a note in the cereal so that when they pour it out, they'll see a msg saying "stop eating my cereal" or something of the like.
or ask your desk/office-mate to help you stake the cereal box out? i don't suppose there's anyway you could set up surveillance webcam or weight-sensitive alarm?
Why don't you throw a ground up lightbulb sans filament into your next box of cereal and walk around looking for someone bleeding from the mouth? Justice will be swift, albeit potentially illegal.
tiffy, your thoughts and ideas are all good ones! I was thinking of the surveillence webcam idea too so I may be looking into that. though it might be the more technical and complicated approach :D
reformed jerk... i'm glad you have tiffy. :)
wow, bleeding from the mouth... nice! Anyway, I was thinking of some of that invisible powder that turns into a bright colour once it's on your hands? That would give the person away... but then what? Would you confront them? "Aha!" you say... pointing at their hands... "i'm calling office security!!"
or maybe you should just put out 10 boxes of cereal... they'll probably get the point...
forget the glass, go with Tiff's idea - the laxatives would be awesome - hahaha - just picturing some dude having to run to the toilet squeezing his butt cheeks together with his hands so the poop doesn't come splattering out of his anus - hahahahaha!!!!! Come home soon for good Ames - we miss you, I miss you too.
