Stop Stealing

For the second time this school year, someone has stolen my drinks! Grrrr.

Last time they stole two cans - a Pepsi that I got at Parent Teacher Conferences and a Sprite Zero that was in a box of desk acessories from my Tooele move. Given that they were crappy drinks, I wasn't too terribly disappointed. Plus, they had been there for a couple of weeks without moving and maybe someone thought they were doing the fridge a favor by taking them. But, this time they stole a real Sprite that had only been there for a day. Grrr, again. What is going on?

I took a Cherry Coke to school one day last week. I decided I didn't want to drink it, so I left it in the fridge. On Monday, I took a Sprite to work. At lunch, I decided the Cherry Coke looked much better than the Sprite, so I put the Sprite in the fridge and drank the Cherry Coke instead. This morning, I did not take a drink to school because I remembered I had the Sprite there. At lunch, I went to retrieve my Sprite and it was gone.

Do I need to put my name on them? If you didn't put it in the fridge . . . DON'T TAKE IT!
