I have never had anything nicked from work apart from a waterproof, but people would try and nick anything from the roof of my boat where I normally keep the bikes.
Someone I know kept getting his coal nicked, and it got to the point where he was so sick of it he ended up putting magnesium shavings in a decoy bag which he delberately left out. Funny, it never happened again.

I used to have keep my bike in the office building and quite often I'd get back to find somebody had fiddled with my gears, oh its hilarious :smile:

Nothing like that but im worried someone will nick the brake blocks "for a laugh",someone did fiddle with my lights years ago and deliberately flatten the rear lamp battery.:sad:

Haha - Like the Towel one. I wouldn't want to leave my stuff hanging up though. I have left my Towel up to fry and a coat for half a day but feel a bit wierd about hanging up clothes to air. Strange cause there is no where else to air them.

Sometimes someone nicks my shower gel if I leave it in there, just in the summer as they are too wussy for this time of year, I am tempted if it happens again to fill a container, preferably an Opaque one with Chicken Fat, Engine Oil or Tabasco just to make the point, don't mind someone nicking a blob if they have run out but ploughing through all of its a bit cheeky so being marinaded would be an appropriate punishment.

I keep misreading the title, and thinking it's 'what cycling related items have you stolen from work?'
To which the answer is 'nothing' (same as it is to the real question), but I'm thinking there's a stash of cable ties that I might like to have a couple of as emergency things :smile:

That's how I kept reading it.
I do steal latex gloves from work for when I clean my bike or to keep in my bag in case of a P***ture.

I've never had anything stolen from work. It's a very safe place, even if you leave your clothes and towels in the shower room, which many people do.
And our bikes don't even need locking up in the warehouse.

Last week, after only one use, my Altura Night Vision jacket got lifted from the restricted access bike store at work.I'm reluctant to say it got nicked, I prefer to believe someone needed it more than I did........
