I think putting in a regular bag lunch with a thing of chocolate pudding laced with Ex-lax would be the way to go. Jilli. Why should you have to buy nifty new stuff, yet not so nifty that you'd mind losing it, just because one of your coworkers is a petty-larcenous git?
Anybody can be a prop class clown.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

DH thinks you should follow Aimee's cooler suggestion, then also plant a dummy lunch in the fridge. Not with anything that'll actually make the thief sick, but otherwise as disgusting as you can make it--say a sandwich with moldy cheese and a thick lacing of tabasco sauce.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Jilli, I have a cloth bag that I keep my lunch in -- it's so old, I don't remember where I got it, but I imagine your local dollar store might have something like it. That plus a watertight plastic container that you can fill with water and toss in the freezer overnight, and you can keep lunch with you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone at work called me dorky for my Hellboy lunchpail. First off, it's not a lunchpail -- that's a dorky word. It's a lunchbox. Second off -- what's dorky about carrying around something that's actually enjoyable to look at?
He backed off.

Fun! Imagine the stickers.
Aimée, you do realize I have two or three of those, right? That are usually used as purses ...

Hmmm. THAT is a very good idea. I mean, I'm still really tempted to stick a dummy lunch in the fridge (and I *would* lace it with Ex-lax, because I'm mean when I want revenge), but fixing things so I could keep my lunch at my desk is a good idea. The only problem with it is that I prefer to make enough stuff to keep at work for three days worth of lunches. I guess I'll just have to portion it out at home and bring stuff every day.
