I'm at a meeting in our second office building yesterday when I get an email that people cannot access a development server I manage in the other office. I still have an hour left in the meeting so I ignore it thinking someone else will take care of it. I get out of the meeting and immediately get called by my supervisor, mentioning this issue and asking if I was on my way back yet.

I rush back to the other office and as I approach the cube it is obvious the server is down because someone unplugged it to steal the power strip!!!

who does that?... maybe the guy in charge of networking?...

Maybe someone needed an extra outlet for a crock pot! Look around for a group having a munchie day!

Back at an old company I worked for we had someone steal the SCSI terminator off the back of our master DNS server. :/

wtf did they want with that?

NFC. Sucked to have to explain why a SCSI terminator would disappear from the back of a server in a rack in a datacenter.

Maybe it was really good so they took it home.

This is why servers don't belong in cubicles.

Oh I agree 100%... I inherited it when someone left and they set it up in my cube, and it's not really a server its a piece of shit ibm desktop.
It's retarded that a critical testing and development server is running on a desktop in a cube, when they have a ton of servers and racks in a secured room.
