The Fork Police. Offices Crack Down Over Missing Utensils – WSJ

By Thomas A. Smith

I ve sent out emails saying, We re missing quite a few forks, to no avail, said Ms. Williams, adding that her office has only 125 people working there during a good week.

An investigation yielded a confession of sorts. Product manager Jennifer Ta, who goes to the office once a week on Wednesdays, makes it a point to get in before her colleagues, because everything in the kitchen is a hot commodity. She immediately collects a mug, fork and teaspoon and puts them on her desk.

This reminds me of when I regrettably stole a set of cutlery from a local diner (I forget what they call them in the UK) at Oxford. I ended up eating there a lot so perhaps they made money on me in the end.
