Here are some of the photos:
This colleague had some Winnie-the-Pooh toys for some project she was working on so we tied them up, ignoring their cries for help and sent this picture to her.
This one didn't even realise her coat was missing from her chair until almost the end of the day.
This was a metal model of a plane on another colleague's desk. He was baffled as to who and how we got hold of it since his office is on a different floor with "tighter" security. My colleague and I had to pretend we were looking for him after work hours, sat at his desk until the other colleagues looked away then we made a grab and dash. No one ever suspected.
This one, she obviously didn't need to use her stationery until past lunch hour.
All in all, everyone collected their "loot" within two days except one. He thought our email was a junk mail and even though we sent it twice to him, he never realised his slippers were missing.
BUT! The best BEST ones were done right after all the managers had left. Unfortunately I had to run off for some appointment so I wasn't part of the fun. However, this had caused a rukus the next morning with the secretaries flaming and calling the security to check the CCTV to see who the culprits were. Apple-polishers quickly took digital shots to "show my boss the mess before we cleaned up".
This manager had left for an overseas trip at that time but one of his staff called him and told him that his computer and workspace was totally trashed and that the head of security was up there, trying to figure out who was the culprit. He freaked out, especially being miles away!
(This also brings to mind when we first moved into this new office and were working on some Lord of the Rings stuff, we put a sign outside his door that said "The Balrog is IN/OUT". He was only upset as to why he was called the Balrog when the rest had "cooler" names.)
This manager comes in work at 9 plus so by the time he was about to reach, the tape had been cleared. Again, another colleague called him and told him the same story as above and he panicked, saying he was already nearby and would immediately look into it.
THIS one... quite a grand one, was done on our Executive Director's door. It was fantastic but I came by when everything was taken down. The secretary was livid and being extremely unpleasant about the whole thing, kicked up a massive fuss which exploded through the entire office floor and summoned the head of security up to take a look at it.
The funny thing was, when the ED came to the office and was told about it, he asked us for a photo of it since he missed seeing it and also asked for the photos of the other 2 managers' desks to send to them as they missed it too! I actually feel a tinge of pity for the secretary because she must have felt so stupid after that.
(We called his office "The Tower of Mordor" when we first shifted in. He left it there until it dropped off years later.)
The General Manager actually saw the taping of the ED's room when he left but didn't realise HIS door would also be taped! His managers took photos of it to show him but he merely laughed and also said he regretted not seeing it before it was taken down. I think he gave a thumbs up to the culprits... :)
(His office was named "Saruman's office" since he was in "conspiracy" with Saruman in the Tower of Mordor).
These were some of the most memorable things that has happened here. Too bad three of these managers have left together with their sense of humour. I can't imagine the existing ones would be able to accept this kind of jokes.
Anyways, what's left of our Lord of the Rings effort now is that we have 3 meeting rooms with the name of Shire, Gondor and Rivendell. Left on it's own devices, they would have christened Room A, B and C.
