Someone is stealing all the forks.
So, at my office, we have a fork thief. Someone literally takes all the forks, and we aren't sure who. It's happened multiple times. Now, on to my question...we won't put up a camera in the kitchen for a multitude of reasons I won't get into, but how do we catch the fork thief? Is there something at the Spy Shop we may be able to find in terms of a usb tracking device that is perhaps, dishwasher safe? If I have to use a spoon to eat a salad again, I'm going to blow a gasket.
I'm at a real fork in the road as to what to do, any amateur detectives want to help out? And yes, this is legit.

bring your own fork from home and keep it at your desk?

Whenever I grab a fork from the kitchen at work and use it in my office, instead of the lunch room, I forget about it for a day or 5.
You sure this isn't an absent minded office eater? or a flock of them?

Metal forks? Magicians love them if they are malleable.

Coat them with some sort of highly radioactive substance.....whoever dies of radiation poisoning is your thief.

Take a page out of your local bank's book of tricks. Chain them to the counter. You wanna eat? Crouch down in the kitchen.

do a desk to desk search after hours - you have got to nail this person.
alternatively, you could discard the salads at lunch, and opt for soup (a spoon?) or a sandwhich (hands).

It's not about finding out who stole them, it is about finding the best scape goat.
Do like Homer does and blame the foreign guy who doesn't speak much english. Tibor.

They are all at my house. My wife brings one home after every lunch with her dirty tupperware to clean in our dishwasher.
She seems to only bring them back after about a month of collecting
Its got something to do with the nasty state of the office dishwasher (traps never cleaned etc.)

Go on a witch hunt. Point fingers, make wild accusations, yell at randoms in the hall, stare at men while they piss etc. Regular human decency is thrown out the window when office kitchens are at risk.

Step 1: Put up a fake camera with a sign telling the fork theif you are watching and recording them and they will be charged with theft.
Step 2: First person to inquire about said camera and sign is your theif. Raid their office. Find all the missing forks.
Step 3: Mock fork theif, make sure to point out your superior intelligence.

Yah we have something similar where I work.
I have my own plate, salad bowl, spoon, knife, and fork.
Plastic forks are likely the only thing that will work for you.
