Unknown employee keeps stealing coworker's lunch, forcing him to buy a mini fridge and lock his food inside, other coworkers mock him: 'We get it, you're special'

Lunch break at work is a sacred time for many, especially since it's usually the only time in the day that you can actually relax and do what you want, even if it is only for 30 minutes. This break is really important for most employees, so they want to ensure it goes exactly as planned, without any unwanted surprises.

The actual food is a big part of that. What you eat for lunch is a crucial detail for a successful break; it is what gets you going in the morning, and what gives you strength for the rest of the day afterwards. What, how, when, and where you eat your food at lunch is a big deal, and every day is a new challenge.

When one brings their home-cooked meal to the office and puts it in the fridge to eat it at lunch break, that little Tupperware is a light at the end of a long tunnel. To get up when it's time for lunch, open the fridge and find out your food is gone, that can destroy your entire day, even your entire week…

That is the reality for the employee in the story below, day after day. Someone in the office kept stealing his lunches, and nothing he did got them to stop.
The only solution he could come up with was to buy a mini fridge, put it under his work desk, and lock it with his food inside. And even though this did stop the thief, it also created an awkward atmosphere at work.
