A pizza thief’s stomach turned after a naval base manager waged unconventional warfare to catch a thief stealing food from the community fridge.
Naval members at HMAS Cerberus, a base 70 kilometers south of Melbourne near Crib Point, were alerted after food was missing from the fridge on Friday.
The base accommodation manager warned everyone to stop stealing food from the ‘1 deck cooler’ in an online group chat called ‘8 block bottom’.
“There have been a lot of reports lately about food being stolen from community refrigerators,” the manager said.
‘The Deck IC have politely asked more than once for the culprits to stop. They haven’t and I’ve had enough.
To prevent further theft, the hotel manager gave the example of a bad apple who apparently ate a contaminated slice of pizza the night before that had been used to clean a toilet.
“For the lucky boy or boys who ate the pizza labeled ‘please don’t eat me, I’m not yours’, it was used to soak up the pi*s on the tiles around three of the bathrooms,” they said. aggregate.
“If the theft continues, I will continue to be more creative with different food and drinks on different covers on random days until it stops.”
A fed-up accommodation manager at a naval base in Victoria used a slice of pizza to mop the floor around a toilet to catch a food thief.
A community fridge at HMAS Cerberus naval base (pictured) continued to be broken into by one or more people stealing marked food from other members of the navy.
The director of the accommodation showed no compassion for his victim.
Instead, according to the manager, it was simply “karma” for the “greedy thief.”
‘Don’t risk it, don’t touch food that doesn’t belong to you,’ they warned.
Screenshots of the group chat were shared on The Pineapple Express, which is a social media page dedicated to veterans and current members of the military.
All the comments on the post praised the accommodation manager for punishing those who continued to steal food.
“Complex problems require innovative solutions,” said one man.
“It’s good to see that nothing changes, it’s been 22 years,” celebrated another.
Block 8 is bad enough! Well, that was when I was there anyway,” added a third.
“I’m so glad I’m not a doctor dealing with that anymore,” another person said.
Some people even started coming up with creative ways to find their own thieves.
‘Just cook some food with laxatives. I’ll find out who it is real quick,” one man suggested.
“Next time, dishwashing liquid,” a second recommended.
