Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this as a cheaper alternative to sneak thief powder to catch the Foodini that was stealing food at work. I work in a medical laboratory and therefore my partner and I cannot keep snacks in our work area. We each have a drawer by the communal coffee pot that is clearly labeled as ours and everyone knows why. Almost daily, I would go to grab something to go with my lunch and find it missing. Same with the other lab employee. The thief especially seemed to have an affinity for pop-tarts. My husband, a retired policeman, told me about sneak thief powder that banks would use on bills to catch people. The way it works it to brush a fine layer of the dust on the item being stolen, then when it is handled, it basically sticks to the skin. Washing it makes the purple powder bloom! And it is permanent, although I found alcohol works best at lightening it. We each set up a trap by taking a gallon ziploc bag and filling it with irresistible items..... pop tarts, reeses cups, jerky, etc. (make a list of what you put in the trap bag) Then we waited...... about 3 days later, we noticed purple specks all over the sink and evidence that it had been attempted to be cleaned. We surreptitiously checked all the employees hands and found nothing! Then we went to the housekeeping room. Multiple towels covered in purple stains. cleaning product containers covered in purple stains. Everything that had been touched purple stains. (Now keep in mind, the trap was purposely set in a sealed ziploc in a closed lableled drawer to prevent accidental exposure.) Hoping that this was punishment enough and deterrent for future theft, we simply piled the rags on the table with a note, "Gotcha. Thou shalt not steal. Wonder what else we did this to?" This was money wellllllll spent, and there is enough left over for loads and loads of sharing and pranks.
