Meat, oh glorious meat! As mouthwateringly expensive as it is, it's no surprise that it often finds itself at the center of a sticky situation — theft. Those petite, perfectly portioned steaks! They practically beg to be pilfered! But fear not, dear readers, for we're about to embark on a chuckle-worthy journey of how to thwart the meat bandits.

Picture this: A meat plant where a vigilant supervisor took it upon himself to play detective at the exit gates. Jackets, lunch pails, and bags were fair game for inspection, and boy, did he catch some crafty culprits! One daring employee attempted a disappearing act with a whole 189a PSMO tender sub-primal tucked down his pant leg. Alas, his escape plan was foiled when our sharp-eyed supervisor noticed the peculiar waddle on the way out — meat bandit thwarted, comedy gold achieved!

Trash duty took an unexpected twist as well, with trash throwers turned meat ninjas. Beef subprimals found themselves tossed into the dumpster, only to be rescued under the cover of night. Dumpsters were locked, and cameras became the unsung heroes guarding the exits and dumpsters. Who knew trash duty could be so thrilling?

Now, imagine a supervisor at another plant playing a double game — checking for theft while engaging in a little meaty mischief of his own. He'd pilfer the goods and sell them back to fellow employees. And, of course, certain ladies received the VIP treatment, their lunch pails spared from scrutiny. Cue the cameras to catch the antics, but even technology struggled to outwit the cunning supervisor.

But wait, there's more! Meat goes missing in the vast expanse of warehouses too. Recently, six cases of prime steaks vanished mysteriously from one of the nation's largest grocery store warehouses upon delivery. It's a recurring conundrum, a real head-scratcher. Truck drivers, restricted from the docks, are forced to use a national logistics lumper, creating the perfect recipe for meaty mischief. Missing steaks appear on paperwork, as the receiver notes a short on the bills, but the truck driver isn’t allowed on the dock to keep the receiver accountable for the shortage report. A game of hide-and-seek with meat as the elusive prize! Who’s stealing the steaks, the lumping company or the warehouse workers? It’s a mystery only Sherlock can solve.

As for truck drivers, they can play a sneaky game too. Sealed loads and signed bills of lading receipts create an illusion of innocence and accountability, but who knows what's happening behind those truck doors? It’s easy to pilfer a few steaks out of a case on a pallet during transport.

The stage is yours. How have you outsmarted the meat thieves in your neck of the woods? What’s the most creative meat theft you’ve experienced?
