if someone will steal a lunch what won't they steal?
over-reacting? probably but HR has to take it seriously it is their job to deal with issues that affect the "human resources" (employees) |

if they know who stole the lunch then yes fire them sorry but a thief is an thief and maybe that's all they had to eat for that day. if you don't want to loose your job then don't steal from someone plain and simple
in saying if you dont want to get fired i was not talking about you it was just in general who ever steals period. |

That's not an over-reaction. Lunch or otherwise, a personal item that was CLEARLY known it wasn't his/hers was taken. If it was done by an outside person, such as a contractor, such a dishonest and socially unacceptable person should be banned from having a business with the company. If it was an inside person, he/she should be penalized.
Yes, the cost of lunch was perhaps 5 dollars or less. What it signifies is a lot more. Lack of common sense, distraction to a work place, a hugely bad sense of humor (at best)
Would you be saying "just lunch" if your lunch was stolen 5 times in few weeks? I don't think so. |

Theft, no matter how petty, is grounds for dismissal. An accident (the bags looked similar, and the guy didn't know what his wife gave him for lunch) isn't. |

I worked with a woman who stole lunches, she got caught and fired. You bring a lunch to work to save money because the machines are expensive. Two with a person like myself who has to eat at certain time due to and illness, it's not funny when you go to get your lunch and some stupid, worthless person has stolen it. Yes, it is a big deal! |

If you didn't steal it, why do you care?
P.S If someone stole my lunch, heads would roll.

There may be more to this then written up.
Is it a reoccurring issue, perhaps someone is ragging on another employee on purpose.
Also did the person who lost their lunch, lose anything in the lunchbag like medications, or personal property?
Theft is not to considered over-reacting to HR. If it is someones lunch today it could be office equipment tomorrow. At least a write up is proper for the first time. |

It is theft.
Yes, it's a disciplinary matter.
Stealing a colleague's lunch is as low as it gets. |

If I were hungry and found my lunch, which I prepared and paid for, stolen, I would be angry. It's a betrayal of trust, no matter the monetary value. He was standing up to a bully.
Firing would be extreme, but to be written up would be just. |

No, it was theft. The culprit should be found, and asked to account for what he did. He never it will be found. I know this because it happened to me. Not once but several times. Couldn't catch the SOB. The lunch hijacks finally stopped. Mike |

It would be normal to write some up for this type of action, unless the person has other write ups firing would be a little extreme. |
