I'm actually tempted to get a bike lock and do the same thing to the chair in my classroom. What is it about substitute teachers that make them think they can change the way I have things in my room? It took a long time to get my chair exactly the way I like it and it is very annoying to have to reset everything when there has been someone else in my room. I can totally relate to the person who locked up the chair. Now, where can I get locks for my pencils so people stop stealing them?

Maybe she stopped by before or after work and felt the need to secure the chair or, or, wait for it---
Someone else in the office is having a laugh at your expense and letting the blame fall on the absentee.
I can't see how the lock is secured but I'd be very tempted to take my little screwdriver and
take the seating section off the spindle, remove the lock and reassemble. The grown up thing, however, is to ask your immediate supervisor to provide you with a chair.

Oh, perfect! Wish that had crossed my mind. It reminds me of some chair shenanigans in the novel, Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris.

Haaaaa!Wish I had of that!! I am sure I would have gotten in trouble for it. But I had this chair that I really loved. I requisitioned it for myself, used it for years. There was a super sized woman who worked in my computer room in the day time who decided she liked my chair. I came in one day and the chair was nowhere to be found. I knew right away what happened to it. It really ticked me. So, I found me another chair. You guessed it!! I came in one day and my chair was gone. Later when my office was down sizing I got another job in a different department. Facilities brought me a brand new chair. I even got to take the plastic off it. There was a girl who liked to sit at my computer and play games when I went to lunch(cause my computer was the only one in the office that had games on it) and she spilled hot chocolate on the seat of my new chair.
