The update is far more delicious than the original: http://www.askamanager.org/2016/07/a-coworker-stole-my-spicy...

I'm not sure that the original advice given was ideal. I'd recommend consulting with a lawyer first before giving any information to HR given that OPs job was at risk. But I'm happy for OP that it all worked out in the end.

Very cool ending

I was just about to start typing about potential legal action -- the thief basically admitted the theft (despite HR stating" there's no evidence of theft"...)

Totally agree with the other poster that lunch theft should be a firing offense, as, if they're not honest about that, they're not honest.
