Luis has nicely asked people not to take anything from the refrigerators that is not theirs.  Sadly, his gentlemanly approach has gone unheeded.  I bring lots of things for free usage by people at the games, including, but not limited to, coffee, milk and cream.  It all is there for others to use as well, and there is no problem with that.  However, when a half gallon of milk that I bring each month for Luis to take home with him (it is from a local farm that uses no growth hormones, antibiotics, etc.) is repeatedly opened and consumed, despite being in the frig in a sealed condition, I must speak up.

IT IS THEFT, pure and simple.  It is sealed, which indicates that it is not for common use.  Please respect other peoples belongings/properties.

If I may, a simple suggestion - put a label on personal stock that says "Personal."  Many items in the fridges are NOT personal, and it can be hard to tell which is which.

I can think of no one at KR who would disregard a label clearly marked on a bottle or carton.  Much like we respect other people's OOG belongings when under a bunk, as opposed to on an open table, labeling your items should prevent confusion while still allowing people to enjoy any public commodities.

The month before, Geoff, the bottle said LUIS in black on one side.  Last month I tried putting it in the back.

Fair enough.  The only other suggestion I will make is to keep it in a bag that is tied shut (as well as labeled), as the barrier of needing to open the bag will act as a deterrent.

Otherwise, you are absolutely right.  Clearly marked personal items should not be used by the community without permission.

Shoot, I was in the kitchen most of the time, I don't remember anyone grabbing milk except the bottle you poured for Marketplace, though people may have been mistaking the other for provided for Coffee, I would hate to think they were taking it intentionally. I didn't mark any of my stuff and had no problems... except for an empty bottle  I was using.

I lost about 30 ice pop from the freezer, other than the a few which was sold. I guess they just got up and walked away?
