What would you do if someone at work was stealing from your purse?

Update:

just a note is was presciption medicine

Update 2:

I guess i should have added I have worked in this verv very small office for a long time and consider these people my friends . There is probably only 3 to 4 people who would have access to it.. I just spouted off the question so fast because i went to get a piece of gum and noticed my compartment opened (i just has surgery this was for pain ) and I came right to YA to see what you guys thought? So there now you all have all the details .so now what do you think?

    Anyone who steals from you is not a friend..... you need to contact your doctor and the police and your supervisor.... From now on.. wear a fanny pack...... leave your valuables in the car...... Good Luck!

    Beat the fire out of her... Actually, take a purse you don't like and fill it with junk you don't need. Maybe a few dollars, smear Vaseline ALLLLLLL over the stuff you don't really want and let her/him fumble with trying to get the goo off.

    This happened at a school my friends son goes to. This girl got his combination and kept getting into his locker so he smeared and I mean smothered his lock with Vaseline and she got it ALL OVER her hands. Needless to say she NEVER did that again and the boy got a High Five from her mother..

    OHH and get that gum that stains your teeth BLACK.... hahahahah that would be sooo funny..

    Perscription meds... okay, switch the pills to a laxative in a pill form......

    Oh gosh. This happened to me as well. Do you have lockers at work? You could lock it up, but definitely bring it up to your superior. They will be a big help. If they bring it up to the work group your in, maybe the person will stop because it was brought public. But if not, try not to bring your purse inside or bring a lock box and put the necessities in with you.. like money or whatever.

    I'd keep it locked up or lock it in my car. I would tell someone about it. Tell a manager about the specific incidents when you have noticed stuff missing. You don't even have to tell who you think it is. Ask them if they could post a bulletin to everyone to be careful about this happening. Then the person would indirectly know you are on to them.

    Put it somewhere no one can get to it, like a locker or something. Most work places do not allow personal objects to be left around. As much as you should be able to trust anyone, thats not always the case.

    Try talking to your manager. He or she will help you out with this situation. Also if you have a locker at your job, the place to put your purse is in there.

    well i hope you slove this problem soon

    i would spray bear mace on thier stealing ***. or lay a trap in it. like when she opens it it pulls the tabs to spray the bear mace. then what will they say? Oh, i got maced looking through your private property? or leave a note in the purse saying you know what they are doing.

    Buy some mouse traps and set them up in there, then video tape him getting his fingers snapped, post it on youtube and email the link to everyone he knows lol

    Confront the person and go to someone higher up to handle the punishment for the person stealing from you.

    Take out all valubles lock them away. Then put poison ivy in the purse so they won't try that again.
