The office supplies cabinet that is usually locked was wide open this morning when I came into work. There seemed to be quite a bit of office supplies missing but since my boss was the only one here at that time, I just assumed that she is the one who took them. When I asked her about it, she told me that she had not been in the cabinet since two days ago.

I know for a fact that just two days ago, the discount office supplies deliver man brought our usual monthly order and put it all away, just like he does every month. I watched him come in the front door, go over to the cabinet and use the key that I had specially made for him and put everything away. There was nothing different about that process from the many times that he has done it before. I also remember him locking it, because he got yelled at one time when he forgot to, by my boss.

Now, the rest of my day is going to be tracking down the discount office supplies thief and hoping that they are still in the building. I already put in a rush order for a few things that we will need from the office supply company and they are going to deliver it this morning.
