I stopped using padlocks for my locker at the Y about my third month working there because I kept losing the padlocks. I figured no one would really want to steal my clothes anyway . . . and so for seven years I've been padlock free UNTIL today!
I finished my shower and went to my locker and there was a padlock on it. Thinking maybe I had the wrong locker number, I opened the lockers on either side and one was empty and one had clothes, but not mine! I remembered that when I had grabbed my shampoo there was a lady next to me who was getting ready to swim and I wondered if she had padlocked the wrong locker! If not, it was just my towel and me!
Sure enough, I spotted her in the showers and she came back with me. "I was having the most lovely conversation and I never noticed where I put my padlock!" Case solved, clothes found!
I was talking with my supervisor afterwards and she said it happens about once a month or so that she's aware of - someone puts their padlock on the wrong locker and they lose their padlock for good because it's always removed with the bolt cutter! After all, we do need our clothes!
