Coffee conundrum

Michael Leapheart is having issues:

lately, i've noticed that the machine has been getting messy & people are leaving coffee in it. keep in mind, i brought this in, but i share it w/the other 5 programmers in my group. the problem is, the coffee & mess in question are being made at night when none of us work. we have a thief. not only are they using my maker, but my coffee as well. i keep the filters at my desk, but they are using misfitting filters, hence the overflow mess. i can simply resolve this by taking the cone out so they can't put coffee in there at all, but i'm too spiteful for that simple solution. what i want is a way to teach these mystery coffee elves a lesson? what can i do to either the maker, the grounds or something else to teach them a lesson. i had thought about putting in bogus grounds w/some kind of metamucil in it, but i don't want to be the guy who does that only to find out the thief is allergic to metamucil. any ideas?

I'm thinking red pepper flake, but they might like it.
