The lunch-stealer story reminds me of an old joke:
This guy goes to a diner every day for lunch. He's a regular, so when he finishes his meal and gets up to use the restroom, the counterperson knows to put a bowl of vanilla ice cream at his place. The ice cream is his little treat to himself before he goes back to work.
One day, after months of this routine, the guy returns to his seat from the restroom only to find his beloved bowl of ice cream is half-eaten. He looks around, but can't identify the culprit. He figures it might have been an honest mistake, so he lets it slide, pays the bill and goes back to work.
The next day, the same thing happens. Half-eaten vanilla ice cream, and nobody in the diner will fess up. To make matters worse, the counterperson says she didn't see anyone eat the ice cream.
On the third day, he hatches a plan. When he finishes his meal, he asks the counterperson to give him his ice cream before he gets up. She obliges, and he sticks a prepared post-it on the side of the bowl, with a note reading "I spit in the ice cream." Sure enough, when he returns from the rest room, the bowl of ice cream is intact. Just as he digs in for his first mouthful, he notices his post-it. Just below his note, he notices a hastily scrawled response: "So did I."
