Delving into the office fruit basket is a good way to start your day, making you feel healthier and boosting your energy levels for the day.

However, some people clearly go a step too far and decide to steal fruit in the workplace, which can lead to outrage among colleagues.

An incensed employee at the Scottish government reported their missing banana to bosses, the Edinburgh Evening News reported.

The elusive banana, which contains natural energy-boosting sugars, was not the only fruit to make it onto the list of lost or stolen items reported by Scottish government staff over the past five years.

A dozen apples, which are full of antioxidants that help prevent cancer, were on it too.

There are security staff who investigate the circumstances surrounding any theft or missing items, a government spokesman said.

Despite not knowing all the details about the disappearing banana, he said it would be safe to say "there would not have been a major investigation" into it.

Getting an office fruit delivery to the workplace could well reduce the risk of office fruit thefts, providing all the staff with a good supply of tasty snacks.
