This.

We never experienced stealing, but when DS was in K and 1 kids would want to sit by him and ask, "can I have that...are you going to eat that...what about that?"     
DS was and continues to be, years later, quite thin.     In additional to some (likely acceptable) lunch items, we packed rice crispy treats (horrors, I know) and usually something else that was a lunch table favorite like cheddar bunnies.

Much of it went uneaten, but was disappearing at an alarming rate.   We subsequently learned about the endless begging going on at the lunch table.
You are kidding yourselves if you don't think that kids are asking each other/taking food.

Sometimes when I would arrive at aftercare, I would be asked by kids for the leftover food or snacks in DS' lunch bag (and this was not a poor/starving issue but rather well-to-do kids who were not given enough or the right food at lunchtime by parents.)[/quote]
