Kamog I would love to do that but I am expected to check each system when it comes back and before it goes out to make sure the needed software is on it.

One of my responsibilities at work is to coordinate and facilitate the borrowing of laptops by employees. Needless to say I check them out when they get back. Imagine my surprise when I found a pare of very nice woman’s undergarments that had clearly been stuffed into the carrying case at some point.
Question: What do I do?
1) Return them in an envelope to her
2) Throw them away
I have no idea.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Fact of Life # 21 by Atrocities, quoted from Atrocities Rules of Survival 101 Dated Sept 16th 1998, as posted in TOP forums, under Thread Title: Rules To Live By.

#21. When faced with a bazaar sexual situation at work that only involves you and one other person, denial is your only defense. It never happened.

My suggestion to you would be to simply dispose of them for she will never ask for them back, and if you ever tried to bring up the topic with her, you will embarass her and yourself.

It simply never happened. Denial is your best option. Although, Rule # 2 also applies.

#02. Cover thy own ***.

Document it, take a Digital picture before tossing them. Note your decision to toss them as being the best course of action as to avoid embarassing a fellow employ or causing possible undo work related sexual harrassment.

This brings in rule #1.

#01. ALWAY keep records!

Good luck.

Gryphin, there is yet another possibility that I don't believe anyone has addressed here. Have you considered that maybe the garment in question does not belong to whom you think it does, and that it was placed where you found it as a joke on you?

Atrocites
Thanks, it does seem that the consensus is going with throwing them out to avoid all kinds of issues.

Cipher These are toooo expensive to play game with. Also the laptop was handed to me directly but yes, that would be quite the joke. hmm, I should be careful.

I figured out what I'm going to do.
I put the laptop and contents in a locked file draw in my cube. The next time she asks for a laptop I will give that to her and apologise for not having check it out.
"Here is the same one you had Last time. I'm sorry I did not take a look at it. Just put it on a shelf and forgot it."

Gryphin, if this is a joke, I believe the poor girl is getting herself into too deep water. Waving lingerie at you is likely to unleash the elemental carnal maelstrom that is the Boston Sex Fiend.

I agree with you, give her the case back, apologise and say you havn't done anything with it since she returned it to her. You save face, and importantly, you give her an exit whereby she can save face.

I had a similar situation Last year. I have a rather nice leather chair in my office I brought from home. After one of the Christmas parties, one of my colleagues reported that they had seen my trainee and one of the office girls hard at it, on my chair, legs akimbo and lots of squelching noises.

I was told this next morning at a meeting, before I got into the office, and you can imagine that I really didnt feel like sitting down on that chair, it being probably sticky and with the young ladies bum imprints on it and all. I managed to get my secretary to get the cleaner to wipe it down, claiming I had split coffee on it.

The problem then was that in their amourous encounter, said trainee and femme had broken the chair. I managed to get it mended, but didnt say anything to the trainee other than when he asked me how it was broken, I said, "I dunno, strange but I guess someone must have boffed a hippo on it".

Said office girl is about 90kg, about 5' 3" in height and looks like Ram Man from Masters of the Universe

Your Yankee sympathies are showing.

GT, she is safe. Non consensual is not acceptable to me.

Lucky chair. Wouldn't you have liked to be that seat?
