Ok, if you are sure. Although the guy in question was also using my monitor for a couple of months as I had neglected to collect it after leaving.

No this was a new starter (contractor) who knew full well what he was doing and somehow hoped I wouldn't notice...

If found someone crawling around under MY desk, i'd break his arms.

Technically he was under the desk opposite me - which gave him full access to the back of my base unit.

You can only break his arms by "accident" by giving him a good kicking for being under the desk.

I wear dresses and skirts so I would have so much fun if some idiot crawled under any desks.

Still needs to be an "accident" as you can only use reasonable force against burglars otherwise they will try and sue you.

That's why so many people play cricket and have kids who play baseball.

Yeah, me too. I've been slowly introducing widescreen monitors onto my desk from home. I've gradually walled myself in. I'd recommend it.

A family member was in a situation where someone broke in and there was a fight. The intruder was badly hurt.

The intruder was known to the police, had spent time in prison for injuring a police man. Anyway charges where brought against the family member and the intruder. Everyone agreed to drop charges.

This was a few years ago, hopefully things have changed but still sobering to think if someone breaks into your house you have to be careful and not hurt them.
