Placements that make no sense

[Xarthedia]

Ever come across something like this? You're calmly walking around your workplace, and then suddenly do a double-take when you see an item placed in a spot that makes absolutely no sense.

I don't mean in the style of putting the lettuce in the freezer in a supermarket. Let's face it, that is, sadly, a far too common occurence. No, I mean backstage, where you're fairly certain one of your fellow employees had something to do with it.

Such as these:

1. A teaspoon in an ashtray
   The only way I can see a teaspoon and a lighter being used together is while doing something I hope doesn't take place during business hours. Then again, you never know.
2. A sweetener package in the card-reader (as in ID, not CC)
   I'm fairly certain that's not an accepted form of company ID.
3. A half-eaten cookie in the soil of a potted plant
   If a plant needs nutrition, that is NOT the way to go.
4. A pair of handcuffs in the mail department container
   Why?! We sell IT-services here. Why would anyone bring handcuffs to work?

Anyone had similar discoveries?

Maybe you didn't look hard enough to find the cat-o-ninetails made out of cat5?

Maybe the plant just gave blood? Is there a little cup of OJ nearby?

I work in a food production plant. Years ago during a weekly cleanup, I found a huge wad of gum stuck under a stainless steel bin. Took it to my boss, he shrugged his shoulders and said nothing to the cow who routinely chews her cud while working in the production room. This happened twice. The second time I left the wodge of gum stuck to my employer's office door.
