How to deal with the CF who has been eating my granola

Have recently moved into a larger office with about 50 new colleagues.

I have a tub of granola which I filled up last week and it’s now nearly empty. I’ve had it on my yoghurt maybe four times and it’s kept in the cereal cupboard inbetween times in its own special tub.

WIBU to top it up with 90% granola 10% used cat litter and keep my own granola in my locker instead?

90% rabbit food
5% fish food
5% linseed

Put a notice on tub

Do not eat my granola

Top it up with bird seed :)

It is in a tub labelled with someone's name and kept in a cupboard along with everyone's personal snacks but it really is for the whole company. We're very proud of it.

🤣🤣 love that

Put a note on top of the granola, just on top of the actual cereal so they see it when they open it saying CAUGHT. I bet they shit themselves

@YappityYapYap
I love your idea. You would probably need a camera / or maybe the note would have them thinking there was one Grin.

Put an invoice inside the box.
Address it to The thief.
Dear thief,
While I find your actions in stealing my food to be very sad and a reflection on your lack of manners, please find enclosed an invoice for the last few months.
You know this is my private supply and not a free for all food item.
I hope you have common curtsey to pay up and admit to my face you have been doing .
Your. Put your name on it.

If you had access to a medical syringe you could inject a small amount of blue food dye into a few blueberries. Wouldn't be seen until they are bitten into and no taste, so they'd eat the lot. Would be pretty obvious who the thief was after that.

Crush some disclosing tablets into the granola. It’ll stain their teeth blue or red and they can only get it off by brushing.

Whoever isn’t talking/smiling ate the granola.

I think @mashedspud has the winning idea for me! Keep them whole and lace the top layer though - once the granola is poured theify is likely to be inhaling their stealthy poaching too quickly to spy them!

You mean the idea that @Halestorm had last week? Perhaps you should read the thread....

Whynosnowyet · 23/01/2020 08:41

Today is here!!.
Granolagate continues....

PassMeAnotherCoffee · 23/01/2020 09:41

I'm not the only one waiting with baited breath then?

SuzieSunshine · 23/01/2020 09:51

This has really made me laugh!! Also settling in to wait for an update - I'm even watching the clock and wondering if it's 'granola time' yet.

AlCalavicci · 23/01/2020 09:58

Well it's past breakfast time any update @JoyceTempleSavage ?

PerkyPomPoms · 23/01/2020 09:59

Was the granola touched?

MashedSpud · 23/01/2020 10:01

I didn't see my idea on the thread when i posted.

Great minds think alike!

This is making my bus journey a little more interesting. 😁
