Anyone else get their soap routinely stolen from the gym?

It can be bar soap, or more often stolen is the shower gel.

Shampoo/conditioner gets routinely stolen as well.

I'd take a shower after a workout leave the items in the shower booth
turn my back for 5 minutes when I hit the sauna. And then poof gone.

I literally have to take all things with me now. Take them into the sauna,
leave them on the ledge of the cold tank, etc etc.

Um...if you leave toiletries in the shower stall, perhaps other people think they are provided by the gym?

...and why would you leave your things in the shower stall? Isn't that like leaving your towel on a machine that you have walked away from?

I have a little zippered bag for that stuff, and I put it back in the bag when I leave the showers. I nearly always leave it out on a counter or under a bench when I do other things, and have never had it messed with.

There's a large post in our sauna that everybody leaves their baskets and bags next to. Try stashing it with other people's stuff if there's such a place.

Find out who's doing it and snap them in the buttocks with a towel. Could lead to a hilarious thread in the future.

Keep it all together in one of those plastic baskets from Daiso. They don't cost much and it's easier to keep track of things.
