I've been thinking about 'universal bait'... Something or things that even the most upstanding person will be compelled to take.
I'd like to discover if anyone enters the Forbidden Lab between Monday (when I return home) and the next time I am here.
I guess I could stick a bit of scotch tape on the door as I leave, but there's the off-chance that the tape could be removed by housekeeping.
So, I've come to the conclusion that I need some sort of bait; something that I can leave in plain sight in the lab that any person entering will, must take.
It's probably more than one item, really.
A pack of cigarettes, a chocolate bar, a dollar, and three quarters? The absence of any of these items would indicate that someone else had enetered the lab.
Any better ideas? Something in addition?

The nickname "Sparkle-bottom" comes to mind...
But for your application, I'd scratch the chocolate bar and replace it with a half-empty box of chocolates. Someone might feel guilty about stealing your candy bar, but nobody's gonna notice if I take just one chocolate out of this box, right?
Personally I like the scotch tape idea. I've done that kind of thing on our apartment several times to see if maintenance came in or not. But it only tells you someone's been in, not who. And housekeeping might take your bait also.
Is there any way you could pretend you needed to know who carded into the lab, and see a log file or something, like maybe say something was stolen and then later say you found it and there's no problem? I'm used to thinking in terms of workplaces where I don't really care that much about the job though, it's probably a bad idea for your situation.
