i think you should incorporate urine and/or feces in your plan...

Wouldn't work. A relatively small amount of time in a cold fridge would settle them down.

What to do is drill small hole in bottom. Take soda out. Fill can with cooking oil, sour milk, watered down mayo, etc... seal can up and put back in fridge.

Put your name on the bottom so if they try and say "I thought it was mine..." they will be sos.

while this is amusing, i believe this wouldnt work either. the can wouldn't make that pressure release noise when opened. i would be wary of any can that didnt make that noise when opened.....

(sigh) Do I have to think of everything? ;)
Nick said shaking machine, take it to work. Shake the entire fridge if necessary :D

Attach a perfectly good soda can to 6 or 7 other soda cans that have been emptied and filled with noise producing material.

The following text is for entertainment only. Never, ever attempt this.

Get a can of a less-carbonated, drink- Mt. Dew, or maybe some juice if the theif will take juice. Get a hypodemic needle (know a diabetic?), then go to the pet store and get some 'Neutral Red'. It's a red dye that goes through your system the same color it went in. Turn the can upside down, then carefully poke a hole in it with the needle (this is why non-carbonated would be good), and inject some Neutral Red into the can. Remove needle and cover the hole with a tiny dab of hot glue. Spin it around a little bit to mix it up (shaking would be a bad idea), then place it in the fridge. At your own risk.

That is the best solution. Excellent! You could watch for the expression on the thief's face.

this sounds like the best solution so far

Go buy some generic cola and put it in the fridge and never drink it. WHen you notice one can is missing, walk around and find that generic can of soda!

The web cam (in the fridge) is the best solution. The rest, while creative have couple of problems. If you tamper with the can you won't get to 'see' the results, since you don't know who it was. Doesn't necessarliy stop it either (could be a 'bad' can of soda) depending on what exactlly is done. Also, you could lose your job, or worse, get a visit from the law (some of these things are a hair away from poisioning).

I think this one is simple, but awesomely effective. Just put some kind of smal indicator on it, so that you and your coworkers know not to take it.

The problem with marking cans is that the thief will just claim that he "picked up the wrong one".

Heres two more ideas.
1. Get someone with a cold, the flu, AIDS, whatever to lick the can and then put it in the fridge, then whoever calls in sick the next day is your thief.
2. Buy yourself a gun and shoot everyone in the building, your bound to get the right person eventually.

seriously your best solution is to do nothing but make the theif think you did..

let him steal a few more sodas then post up a message on the fridge addressed to the theif saying that you have leaving a 'surprise' on the rim of the cans for him, then ask him if he has enjoyed it.
