The Mystery of Pie

The Husband and I ran into the station engineers last week at the lunch place next door.  We don't usually hang with them, but we asked if we could join them anyway... just to be polite.
And it was very interesting.
I'm not sure how it came about, but we eventually came around to the subject of the missing pies.

Several months ago, a client brought a collection of pies to the radio station as a thank you.  Our office manager was in charge of doling out servings of the pie throughout the week.  She'd cut up a pie, leave the slices on plates in the breakroom, and keep the remaining pies in the employee refrigerator.  This way, everyone got a share almost every day.

One morning, I arrived to near chaos.
Two whole pies were missing.
Two. Whole. Pies.

When you are dishing out slices at a time, and two entire pies disappear, it's really something.

After much questioning, the evening DJ admitted that he and another DJ had eaten the two pies during their shifts, and he had taken the leftover pieces to his wife and child.
Two. Whole. Pies.
That's a lot of pie to eat, even between two full grown men.

After more questioning, and the pointed fact that the second DJ (said to have helped in eating said pies) was on a very public diet, the evening DJ finally confessed to taking both pies home.

The office manager let it go.  She scolded him (and told anyone else who asked about the pie mystery) that if he'd have just asked, she'd have let him have a freakin' pie. 
Really?  Sure.
Because this DJ is an in-law of hers.

But, what I learned from having lunch with the station engineers is...
The day those pies went missing, the head engineer was commissioned to spend his day studying the security records of everyone's comings and goings the night in question.
Who had access to the pies?
When did they come?  Who did they bring?

Focus was on a certain weekend DJ who sometimes showed up in the middle of the week with questionable characters who he interviewed for his program.
"He wasn't even in the building," the head engineer told us.  "We even checked the (security) video."

The engineer chuckled.  "They paid me a full day's salary to track down a couple of pies.  Pies that were given to the station."

How does your company spend their time and money?
