She stole her coworker's lunch every day. For a year. HR set up a sting operation with a marked sandwich.
A woman steals lunches from the office fridge daily. HR plants a sandwich with a hidden tracking tag and a distinctive sauce. She's caught by 12:15.
It started with a yogurt.
Then a Tupperware.
Then entire lunches.
Every day. For a year.
Twelve employees filed complaints.
"Someone is eating my food."
HR took it seriously.
Eventually.
They set up a sting.
Planted a sandwich in the fridge.
Turkey. Swiss. Distinctive sriracha mayo.
With an AirTag inside the wrapper.
And a camera pointed at the fridge.
Monday morning: sandwich placed at 8 a.m.
By 12:15 it was gone.
The camera caught her.
The AirTag confirmed her desk.
The sriracha mayo confirmed her lips.
She was eating it when HR arrived.
Still chewing.
HR planted a sandwich with an AirTag and a camera. She took it by 12:15. The camera caught the theft. The AirTag confirmed the desk. The sriracha mayo confirmed the thief. She was fired while still chewing. One year of stolen lunches. One sting sandwich.
