Thanks for stealing our soap

Actually, it's more than likely the homeless people are *drinking* the soap. It contains some alcohols, and can be used to get high from.

Nah, because then they'd probably be sick enough to end up at my hospital.

People in general steal lots of stuff; homeless people in my area are very bad about it. My hospital doesn't have pillows in the ER because our patients kept stealing them. We also have a limited number of thick blankets that are mostly reserved for patients we're trying to warm up, as those are a common theft item as well. We once (recently) had 12 wheelchairs stolen from my department in a 2 week period; now they are all locked up.

Yeah at our library we once had a brief period where someone was stealing the urinal cakes
also it's some what common for our hand sanitizer stations to get broken into. Most are in public areas so it doesn't happen often but there was this one time where a homeless guy came in nd went straight for one that was in a very public area right in front of the staff desk and in visual range of our security desk and just popped one open and tried walking out with the bag of sanitizer. He saw us heading straight for him so he slammed the bag down on a desk and quickly walked out
