In the canteen at work, it would be awfully convenient to have a microwave. I've considered just buying a cheap one and placing it onto a counter somewhere.

The thing is, there's usually no one who knows for sure that something like that shouldn't be there, so I can't imagine that anyone would actually get rid of it.

I bought a little $15 single-serve rice cooker and left it in the staff room where I work. Nobody else has ever touched it or even knows who it belongs to as far as I know. Beats wasting hours doing bulk meal prep on the weekends or getting takeaway. If it ever disappears it was cheap enough that it doesn't matter.
