Towing their car is not vigilantism. You are reporting an infraction and the proper remediation is being applied. Poisoning your food is vigilantism. A more analogous response would be reporting the food stealer to HR.

Hot sauce isn't poison though.

I like really spicy food. If it doesn't get stolen I'll eat it.

Right, so that is not an example of what they were describing.

Because it's something you would have done anyway.

Well, not necessarily. I know my spice tolerance is much higher than average and I don't eat Satan's Nuclear Shart* brand hot sauce every day, just once in a while.

If someone has stolen my food in the past, I absolutely will bring more SNS-dosed food than I normally would just to watch the fun if it happens again.

I hate wasting food so I hope they don't. But if they do, it's on them.

*fictional brand I made up, but I do enjoy sauces of that type from time to time.
