Does anyone have a source for a stapler and three hole punch that has a chain attached to prevent theft? You know, sort of like how you can't just walk off with bank pens. I have seen this done (of course, i can't remember where), so it MUST exist somewhere. We no longer keep these items at our public desks because of the theft problem, but I would like to be able to have them in my Ya area for my kids (the kids, BTW, always make a point of returning things--it's the adults who are the problem). Just last week, a lady asked me if she could use our stapler, and I explained that due to theft, we no longer keep one at the desk. Five minutes later, she approaches my co-worker, who was sitting right next to me and says, "She told me you no longer have a stapler I could use. Is that true?" I felt like saying, "Right, Lady, I woke up this morning determined to deny you use of a stapler. In fact, keeping you from a stapler has been my life-long ambition. I can now die happy." As that great philosopher, Charlie Brown, said, "Good Grief." Dawn M.
