*stomps around and throws a tanrum*

On saturday morning as I left for work I discovered that the day before on my long shift someone had managed to get into my locked locker and steal my wallet and new phone.

So I spent a good part of my morning swearing and cancelling my cards, luckily none had been used I think the person was after cash.

It has been a real pain as I had everything in my wallet and its not like I don't have enough to do with my holiday just 3 weeks away.

Its happened about 3 times at our work now tho' the other ones were when the people left their keys in their lockers.

It makes me mad as my work is really good and we're all really good mates, its probably one of the newer people. It just really is sickening that people you trust would steal from you.

I'm hoping because my locker was actually locked the company will pay for my new phone as I can't afford one it was $250 and I need it for when I'm away.

Aaargh! I have never wanted someone's head on a plate so much. [img]graemlins/dish.gif[/img] I have spent the last 4 months working extra hours and being really strict not buying stuff I want so I will have more money for my holiday and then someone is rude enough to steal off me a few weeks beforehand.

*sigh*

I seem to have been using the angryface alot lately.

Of course Saturday night was our Midwinter Christmas party (Jungle theme the bastard also stole my ticket I still got in tho' just no free 1st drink)

So I did what all good STP'ers would do in such a crisis...dressed up as a zebra and got really,really drunk. [img]graemlins/martini.gif[/img]

Damn, I'm sorry, Chaos. The timing could have been worse, but not by much. At least you managed to cancel the cards before anything got charged on them.

Chaos, that sucks when that happens. I used to go to work where they gave us lockers. I never used it except for coats and gloves in the wintertime. Even though my workmates were nice people, I've trusted none of them. And I don't trust any of the ones I have now.

Now, there was something on the news about some drunk zebra...

Were you the front end or the back end, chaos?

That sucks Chaos! Bad enough when anything gets stolen, even worse when it's by someone you should be able to trust (ie: a co-worker).

I too keep an absolute minimum of stealable things in any work-related storage. Of course that's not always possible, which I suppose is why they give you lockers... Security cameras anyone?

eris! you should know which end of the Zebra we drunken STPers resemble. YOU should KNOW (hee hee hee) [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img]

It's the eyes, right?

Man, that totally sucks, Chaos. You don't happen to have security cameras near the lockers, do you?

Tyle, what's up with the name change? Going incognito?

I watched Pirates of the Caribean, and as much as I hate Disney, that movie totally rocked, so I changed my name to appear as the Captain Jack. And it worked, got some fun started up there, THANKS CRAZY A!!!!!

Maybe see if you can get Bran the ninja stationed outside your locker every day?

*hugs again*

Dude! There's nothing good in here! Except maybe this party ticket...

Hey! Just trying a little humor to make the frowny face into a smiley face... That really sucks, Chaos. I'm sure you can sick Bran, or failing that, me, on them!

but watch out for this particular lass, I gave her a kiss, savvy, and now she's a little in the drink, if ye know what i mean.
Guess I'm not so dirty as I thought. That dip in the salt must have done me some good.

You know it wasn't me right?!
I've got to say- I admired Chaos's calm in the situation.
I'm sure I wouldn't have been so under control.
Funny that the person we're suspicious about wasn't at work on Monday.
(enough of that malicious gossip-smack my hand)
When I was a kid my Nan didn't even lock her house when she went out.
Your theft was a wake up call to us all at work I guess.
Now where do I put my phone when I'm at work?

Thankyou Capn. Jack and everyone here, I'm sorry for coming in and throwing a virtual tantrum, I have just been pretty much glowering and sulking in the real world whenever I think about it.

I've reported it to the local police station and they may help my manager deal with the situation we now face. We are working on ways of being more secure.

There are no cameras in our entire building Shadowcat. I suppose we really don't have that much worth stealing at least not for the common crook and there are monitored alarms and motion sensors.

I think having ninja Bran guarding my locker would be totally cool. [img]cool.gif[/img]

Its probably one of the more recent recruits as the rest of us are totally awesome people who go out together all the time.

I'm not terribly sure I'll get the company to pay for my phone as the 1st thing the CEO apparently said was couldn't I claim it on my contents insurance (typical of the CEO) but with the excess it wouldn't be orth it and I think its beside the point anyway. Apparently the company's excess is $10,000. Still I'll keep working on the 2IC as the CEOs gone on holiday.

*BIG HUGS*

You know , the werid thing is, its almost never the person you suspect. Its still sucks either way.

Actually, I've found in my time that it usually is the person you suspect. [img]smile.gif[/img]

But not always.

Really? I've seen a lot of "innocent" people blamed that way. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Well, I'm just speaking from my personal experience, but so far it has been the person I suspected every time.

I kind of agree with you Rich C.Though I don't like to blame someone with no proof. In this case there is a large number of people who all think it's the same person. Whoever it is, I'm sure they must be a bit worried now that the police have been called.
