I always expect to see a James Bond villain or some sexy robot women in the room.

    Once when I was robbed I was messing around with hardware on my workstation so had the shell off. The thieves did not take the naked tower.

      “Grab that.”

      “No you, I’m not touchin’ that.”

      Or they might have assumed there was something wrong with it. I learned a trick at Microsoft to not have my desk chair “borrowed” for meetings - put a big piece of duct tape on it, Nobody wants the duct taped chair lol.

        TIL Microsoft can’t afford enough chairs for meetings.
        WTF do they do with all that money? They’re obviously not spending it on their OS.

          Sometimes a conference room gets overloaded for a big meeting, sometimes people have pirated conf room chairs as desk side chairs… it varies.

          related, nobody steals pink power tools. A building contractor friend of mine had some pink paint leftover from a bathroom remodel, so he slapped it on all his power tools - no more tools stolen on job sites!

            I wouldn’t steal them, but the little girl inside me would clap delightedly upon seeing pink power tools anywhere!
