Custy [shock i'm surprised at you!!!! yeah right.

So, what you need to do is this - listen to the voice mail, listen out for any tale tale phrases or pet names. Then, when you are all having a conversation or something, a meeting would be even better, drop those phrases into the conversation in an all innocent kind of way. I mean, its not like he is going to accuse you of snooping, on account of it being an admission.

Then, when he is suitably anxious, send annonymous emails to his bit of fluff, insinuating that you know stuff etc

Then - blackmail the fuckers .

Alternatively, you could do no more about it and be the bigger person knowing that karma will out!

How is it any of your business what this man is doing?
Stick to the stationery cupboard in future and leave other peoples personal belongings alone.
YABU.

Do you know if the secret messages on secret phone were to the same woman he flirts with in the office?

And what are you going to do now you know more? Have you mentioned it to DH?

TBH if he's flirting that outrageously in the office am thinking he's not too bothered about hiding things (assuming it's the same woman?). Is she single? Does he have children?

Were they rude secret messages, then?

like i say my dh knows him socially and i have met his wife a couple of times - we have been out as a group on occasion

and then he is outragously flirting - no holds barred in the middle of the office.

then as i was looking to aquire some fancier pens than in stationary cupboard ( ie non! skingy gits) ..there appeared a phone.

well would have been rude - seeing as i think he is a prize scabby cheating slimy bastard...

Are you being serious though? I'm honestly interested to know why YOU'RE so interested? I don't work for anyone, so miss out on all this kind of intrigue

One of our managers does lock her drawers, and they were broken into by a member of staff.

No secret phones though.

My stuff gets rifled occasionally. (Fk knows why, there's nothing interesting there).
