Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

What's mine is yours.

Imagine, if you will, finally sitting down at your computer after a day in the field, wanting to compare equipment prices before you order. You figure you could jot down the prices and other data, but maybe you'd better use a spreadsheet, just in case you have to move or change the data. Then, when it comes time to print, you get an error message that the printer door is open or the toner cartridge is missing. "Huh," you say, "I've never gotten that error message before." So, you open the printer to check the door and observe that the cartridge is indeed missing. Who the f--- would enter your office just to take the toner cartridge from your printer? Why remove it? Why wouldn't that person replace it? Then, the biggest question, If no one else is supposed to have a key to your office, how would that person get in in the first place?

This comes after two similar incidents. How would a lacrosse coach get into the shop to take the aerosol paint striper and the wrong type of paint to mark the fake grass field that your staff had painted already with the proper paint? And how would people get into the shop, and the storage cabinet which has a different lock, to take three of the four chainsaws (they couldn't take the fourth because you had already loaned it out), so that when you absolutely needed a chainsaw first thing Monday morning to cut up yet another tree branch that fell onto a road over the weekend, you have no saw available?

Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!

Ninjas! It's the only explanation. Your workplace is infested with kleptomaniac ninjas.
