Weirdo

[caddyman]

There is a weirdo in this office somewhere and no-one knows who it is.

Sometime over the past couple of weeks or so, someone has been wandering around stealing personal and family photographs from desks and filing cabinets. Whether it is just this floor or a wider problem, I don’t know. Whoever it is even whipped my photo of Gillian Anderson, which has been pinned or blu-tacked to a succession of partitions or filing cabinets these past ten years. It’s annoying, but hardly a great loss. More worrying are the irreplaceable family photos other people have lost. There was a rumour that all the pictures taken were of women or young girls, but that has been squelched and our picture thief is taking any photograph available (except, it seems, my photocopy of Louise Brooks – not good enough quality, I imagine).

I doubt we’ll ever find out who has wandered off with them or why.

There are some strange people in the world.

Several items have gone walkies from the 6th Floor.

Apparently some bloke had his Paddington Bear nicked. I laughed like drains when we were told this by one of his female colleagues who in turn gave me a withering look. ( I cast no aspersions as to why a grown bloke had his teddy bear at work !!!)

And there have been other more personal items, like photos, disappearing recently.

As you say there’s obviously some ‘clepto’ freak walking the corridors of power……


(For the record, my childhood teddybear sits at home on a bookself)

I have a little teddy bear at my desk too. I wouldn't be more than slightly bewildered if anyone half-inched it, but anyone coming within three feet of my Vintage Guitars Calendar will be thrashed soundly on the spot, even if the director walks past and fires me.
