[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 192872, member: 1991"] Let's see - are you taking all this as light humour, or are you really tee'd off with him? Because what he is doing could be seen as workplace harassment and bullying. If you simply go get him back, you're lowering yourself to his level. OK, I've been there done that and did similar things with the blokes at work when they began to be sexist and harassed me - I just harassed them back, with a grin on my face. "Of course, you know I'm JOKING. What, you can't see the joke? Typical male, no sense of humour..." type of thing. Like, they would have their naked women pin-ups everywhere, so I hunted around to find naked male pin-ups that didn't actually show any naughty bits (it had all been fig-leafed or air-brushed out). However, times have changed and regulations have tightened. What this co-worker is doing, is bad for morale, bad for business and frankly, moving your car like that is theft. He went into your handbag (what if you discover that money is missing? Or maybe even announce tomorrow that you're missing several hundred bucks form your wallet, has anyone been seen going through your handbag?) without your permission, he moved your car without your permission (and his prints are probably all over it). By joking back, you're giving him permission, after the fact. I'd be taking him aside and making it clear - OK, he might think it's cute, maybe even humorous but he won't be laughing if he does this to someone else in the future and they don't find it funny. He could find himself with a police record and no job. Marg [/QUOTE]
