Dilemma

Dilemma time. I've been staying in a self catering room - one of those bed-and-kitchen jobs. Two days running I'm *reasonably* sure there was less food on the side when I got back in the evening than there was when I left in the morning. Not 100%, but 95%.

Would you say anything? First instinct was to mention it in passing at reception. Only a waffle and a few biscuits, but it's the principle. But then I thought maybe the cleaner is someone on no money at all who just needs the food, and alerting their employer isn't going to help.
 
Why blame the cleaner? She won't be the only person with access to your room. The note is a good idea then whoever it is will likely stop, hungry or not.
 
Leave a small hidden note underneath the top biscuit/waffle in the packet saying "I'm aware of you."

Let's rule out the fact that they are desperate. They're not.
 
Hah, maybe I shouldn’t be so sure. Of course it’s worth treading carefully if it’s suspected that someone really is that desperate.

I don’t think that’s the case though. Make an elaborate detection contraption involving invisible wires, pulleys, alarm clocks, saucepans, marbles, half-pipes, and hamster wheels.
 
On holiday a few years ago the handyman took £500 out of the safe in our room, he had duplicated the safe keys.

potato waffle or the sweet/Belgian type? Tipping factor for me.
