to steal from a district court judge's secretary??
I have (HAD) the coolest door stop in history, a little pair of ruby slippers with striped socks protruding that formed the door stop. I am certain I used it to prop my office door open this am when I arrived. I just went to close my door, as it is lunch hour, and it's gonie, replaced with a wooden wedge. The nerve! And what really blows my mind, is that I was right here at my desk 98% of the morning, within four feet of the door. SOmeone was jonesing for it, and just waiting for an opportunity - it has generated a lot of comment when peeps see it. bastidge. Apparently, they needed that little grin/lift from it worse than me. They better treat it right.
bastidge.

Why do I hear "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!" in my head?
Seriously, that takes a lot of nerve, especially since whoever took it can't very well use it in the office.

They better watch out, before somebody drops a house on their head, too!

I would tell your co-workers that your doorstop is missing and politely ask if they saw anyone near your doorway this morning while you had stepped out.
I would not worry about annoying the thief, if (I hope not) it was one of them.
It does sound like a cool doorstop.

Seriously, if you haven't already, spread the word in the office that the most excellent doorstop went missing. Anybody who would steal that also might steal purses, laptops, or other valuable items from briefly unattended offices. Everybody needs to be alerted.
At that, the doorstop probably went out the front door with a visitor. I'm guessing -- just guessing, mind you -- that some of the people who come into the judge's office might possibly have previous problems with the law (and I'm not only talking about attorneys, here.)

Yeah, but they were passing by her door and just happened to have a wooden wedge handy to replace it with? That makes it sound like a premeditated, inside job.

I get only the most exemplary citizens of our fair city in my offices - SNORT.

UNfortunately, that part of the blame lies with me. I never got completely rid of the old wooden wedge doorstop, just left it against the wall by the door - so it was handy and made sure I didn't notice the switch until time to move the doorstop.
Fuzzy - Send in the monkeys!

My feelings would be hurt.
They stole from you!
How rude.
Hope they start to feel guilty and return them just as they stole them - in secret.
Maybe with a note of apology.
yes - I live in lala land.

Some have opined I might start recieving photos of the shoes in exotic locales. I don't think so - I think they were outright stolen. We'll see.
