  'Whoever took the eggs please know that those eggs are not chicken eggs and are not meant for consumption. 'If you have not consumed them please discard. But if you have, please see me for the antidote. They are eggs from a rare bird in Africa.'

  One told how she replaced a colleague's coffee with decaf when she was on the nightshift - before revealing she was fired for falling asleep (pictured)

  'I would've taken it further... made him drink some mad concoction after he confessed and then been like "only joking," wrote one, while a second penned:

  Kojo added: 'This taking off so moral of the story, don’t touch what’s not yours!!! 

  My mother is cracking up and appreciates all your positive comments towards her. She’s glad most people could have a good laugh.' 

  He went on to confirm that after the culprit confessed, he paid the woman back for the eggs. 

  Elsewhere, others took the opportunity to share the very amusing plans they've come up with in a bid to catch out the culprits in their workplace.

  'Someone used all my coffee creamer at work when I happened to also be pumping milk for my baby at the time,' commented one. 'I wrote on my next bottle with sharpie saying “this is not coffee creamer. stop drinking my breast milk. This is for my baby.”

  Others told how they put laxatives in their food so that they'd be able to identify who was responsible for the missing food (pictured)

  A second with a similar idea wrote: 'A friend of mine had milk taken from work fridge, as she had just come back to work after maternity leave, the next day put a note in the fridge that the missing milk had been expressed for her child... No more milk thieves.'

  Another told how her lunch kept getting stolen from the refrigerator, so he put a skull and crossbones on it and wrote 'poison' - and never had the problem again. 

  'I had a coworker who messed with me so I replaced the all the coffee with decaf, revealed another. 'She was nightshift. Not sure if she ever figured it out. She was fired for falling asleep.'

  A further added: 'My mother's work colleague had her yogurt stolen all the time and she ended up putting laxative in one of the pots. That's how she discovered the culprit.'
