Candy Thief

I purchased a bag of York Peppermint Patties a week ago and stuck them in the freezer of the break room. Today, there were only THREE left, and I've only had a couple. Someone's a peppermint patty thief. I am contemplating various ways to get back at the thief. Suggestions?

Tactic One: Inject some exlax into the peppermint patty core. Rewrap nicely and replace in bag.

Tactic Two: Write post-it note saying, "To the eater(s) of the peppermint patties: It has come to my attention that said peppermint patties were imported from China and contain toxic materials. A recall order has been placed. Please seek medical attention immediately."

Tactic Three: Write post-it note saying, "To the unintended benefactor(s) of the bag of peppermint patties: Please replace the bag. Thank you."

Tactic Four, suggested by colleague: Write post-it note saying, "To the peppermint patty thief: I am but a lowly analyst making minimum wage. Get your own damned $2 bag of candy!"

If it was good enough to be in "Weeds", then I say definitely go with opton one.

Tactic Five: Realize that you're going to Jamaica in 6 weeks and that someone was doing you a favor.
