Foiling the Lunchroom Thief

So you haul your lunch to work, managing not to pop open the tupperware or smoosh the sandwich. And you're feeling great because you have (hopefully) food you want to eat that's also cheaper than eating out, and potentially healthier. Woohoo!

And then 12:00 hits, you wend your tummy-rumbling self over to the communal fridge and..... nothing. Your sandwich/salad/leftovers that you so lovingly packed up and carried is gone. Poof.

Enter some choice expletives.

So now you have to not only pay for and haul that lunch that you can't eat, you have to go out and spend more money and time to buy another lunch. Humph.

You have no idea who took your lunch, so there's no retribution to be had. But you don't want to admit defeat. And you don't have to!

There's now an anti-theft sandwich bag. There's "mold" on the plastic (or at least, the appearance of it), so that lunchroom thief will avoid it like the plague it seems to be. And you can enjoy your sandwich in peace.

Next step, tupperware with mold! Since I hardly ever have sandwiches at work (and if I do, I assemble them there), the sandwich bags aren't going to help me much (and thankfully, my co-workers are of the other-peoples'-food-respecting kind). But a "moldy" tupperware container? Hell, yeah!

Have any of you fought with the lunchroom thief before? What solutions did you come up with?
