My predecessor left a large pile of napkins in one of my drawers. When I discovered the stash, I took a few out and put them in a little recessed area under my desk just so I didn't have to keep opening the drawer everytime I needed one (I'm a snacker, so that's a few times a day).
But lately, something weird's been happening. I take out enough for a few days, but, when I come in the next morning, there's none left! So everyday, I've been taking m0re out, in the hopes that they'll stay there for a few days. But the next day, they're gone again.
What's going on? Do I have another personality that's a compulsive napkin user? Or has someone else discovered my little collection? Or do the napkins come alive at night and flee when they realize they've been let out of their drawer prison and there's no one around? What do you think is happening?

It's the same guy who's swiping paper from my computer printer. I fill it up each evening before going home, and the next morning it's less than half full.
I have the same problem too. Every morning I put some money in my pockets and in he evening most of it's gone. And I'm pretty sure I don't eat the stuff. Hmmm, the plot thickens...
To stop people stealing them set fire to them just before you go home, who in their right mind is going to pick up a burning napkin? Smart hey! Now why did you not think of that?
I think you should booby trap them in some way before you go home for the evening..... perhpas one of those rubber snakes that look so lifelike?
I have the same problem with food. Even though I live alone, it keeps disappearing from my refrigerater. I would say it's the cookie monster, but it isn't just cookies.
By the way, I'll bet it is probably the cleaning crew.
Well, there is the option of putting them back in the drawer... if they disappear from in there we will go to sleuthing theory number Two.
Outlaw, do you think maybe you sleepwalk to work at night and use up all the paper?
Eric, Gary, how very strange! I have the same problem with food and money as well!
Martin, another brilliant idea! I'll give that a try. . . of course I'll give you credit for the consequences!
Ex-Shammie, LL, booby trapping and putting them back in the drawer seems like too much effort. I'll attempt it if I'm feeling particularly industrious (which I'm not most of the time:()
To be honest, I think it's just me thinking I put out more than I did and using more than I think I am. . . if someone else wants them, all they have to do is go down to the kitchen (tho that does involve navigating three flights of stairs/escalators) and getting some for themselves.
All they have to do is go to the kitchen? But what if they have an awkward moment while the video guy from editing is around?
