cereal thief strikes again!

it's official. i wasn't crazy back then. my office mate came into the office earlier this week and, as is his ritual in the morning, took out his stash of cereal for breakfast. he buys the costco sized box of raisin bran which contains three bags of the cereal. he emptied his current bag and went to get the next bag in the box only to discover that it was empty - he was missing a bag of cereal. he thought that maybe he was losing his memory and had eaten more than he thought. but no. NO! i informed him that there IS INDEED a cereal thief in the building and that perhaps he had come into our office to steal his cereal. i think he thought i was crazy because he brushed me off and said he must've forgotten that he was on bag #3 rather than bag #2 (honestly, how can you absent-mindedly eat a whole bag of ceral?? And if you emptied the box last time, why would you keep it on your shelf??) well, the subject was dropped until another of our coworkers came by today to say that his box of Organic Hemp Plus Granola cereal had also disappeared! now it's been confirmed, there is someone out there stealing cereal from people's offices.

that's it, it's time to lock up the cereal. thank goodness i'm moving over to the next building. hopefully this new building won't have it's own cereal thief.

You should setup a webcam behind your fish tank or something =)

see, i told you to set-up that webcam trap last time! if you're switching offices, does this mean you'll never find out who the culprit is?

you know the suggestion about laxatives AND the webcam have BOTH been suggested in the past. i might have to follow up on this eh...

i may never find out who the culprit is... i ought to get my coworkers to set up a cam to see if we can catch this guy redhanded

I told you to put a ground-up lightbulb in the cereal last year. If you had followed my advice, the thief would have long ago expired to severe internal bleeding. I hope you heed my advice this time around.
