Paul took it to put his stolen typewriter on. Or else Jane saw it whens he visited the office and decided to use it in her home - Roger just 'forgot' to mention it to anybody.

Kinsey famously stole that typewriter, of course.

Jane isn't an employee at SC anymore, so she couldn't have taken it, but when she was working there she made a point of mentioning that she thought it'd be fun to steal the painting from Bert's office.

I wonder how whoever it was got the credenza home. In a taxi? On the train? LOL.

I worked for a company where there was an office manager that watched over the paper clips like they were the lost treasures of the Mayans! hee!

Yeah...how did that credenza get out? Mebbe like that song by Johnny Cash: One piece at a time. hehe

I think Burt Peterson took the credenza as a last act of defiance. It probably did go out in pieces. An old version of "Office Space" and the p.o.s. printer.

D&S: hehe maybe Burt pitched it out a window! hehe

I dunno, but "it's a conspiracy"!

The attention Pryce pays to trivia makes ex-employee Duck look positively creative! I can't believe he'd waste everyone's time on this crap! Don is really buggin' over this guy, and it's so "Don" to walk out of the meeting.

Maybe Don is sneaking furniture out of SC to use in his own ad agency! LOL! I wish! Pryce is such a tool.

A credenza isn't something you could just walk off with even if you were Schwarzenegger. In the hub bub of moving furniture around making more usable office space available, like maybe for a (copy machine), it probable wound up in the basement. Usually the last place anyone would think to look.

The credenza may have been tossed out with the broken ant farm. The ant farm was on the credenza in Burt Peterson's office. When the ant farm broke the ants probably infested the credenza. Joan couldn't even spray them out.

I think this is the best thread yet. I think it was Roger that took it. He is the only one with the power and self centered entitlement to get movers to come in the middle of the night to and take it behind PP&L's back. It might have sentimental value being that it was his dads company and he has been working there is whole life. Ether way, I think this is going be a where's waldo moment for a future episode.

I think it was either Burt Peterson, or Roger sterling

Maybe SC not only has ants, maybe, they have termites!!

Hollis will be blamed for the "great credenza caper"!!

What's funny is nobody asks where it came up missing. Obviously any of the people in the room would know if theirs came up missing. Ergo, it came from one of the third of the staff who was dismissed. Ergo, it wasn't needed any more than they were.

So what's your problem, Lane? Expecting to refill all those positions and need it? Along with all the pens, pencils and paperclips which probably were taken by the one third. For their resumes.

Or 485Madison had it right. As I recall, Joan wasn't in the meeting.

Hi Ritt1. I looked for her, and I think Joan was at the meeting (on the right, at the end) Can't be sure, I have a small tv. No speaking part, but it was a redhead. Anybody out catch a look at that?

Maybe Miss Hooker took it to feed his starving sense of entitlement.

Yes, I saw Joan at that meeting. Does Christina Hendricks get paid less in an episode if she has no lines?

It is the credenza that never was. In other words an inventory mistake. No one took it and it will never be found because it doesn't exist.
While we are on this...was Peggy returning the vacumn cleaner or had she it borrowed from her mother for her own apartment and planned to bring it home that day?

My first thought is that Paul took it (like he did the typewriter); however, I think, in general, on this TV programme, that they write in a lot of "innenuendos", but now, after having watched every single episode since the beginning, I think that they don't always show the "answers" to the "questions". That said, it could be ANYBODY who took the credenza, which could be the point their trying to make, as the show is about portraying the "signs of the times" and how things were back in the 60's in general. I remember all sorts of people taking all sorts of things from offices way back when! Yes, including furniture! haha Also, Joan WAS in that meeting on the Fog episode, she just didn't have any lines in that meeting. I think all the old employees at SC are fairly disgusted with the new British regime, the cultures just don't always mix well! About Peggy and the vacuum--she was just bringing it back. I don't think Jane Sterling has the least bit of interest in stealing anything since she got what she came for at SC--"the boss"! haha

@485Madison - I agree, it was thrown out because of the ant farm, but joan didn't speak up in the meeting because she didn't want a public flogging.

I just watched the previews for next week again - I think it's Roger who is leaving (bye, bye Don), not Don. And I think rapist hubby is accusing Joanie of cheating.

.....Did anyone check the sidewalk? (Heh.)

Joan was at the bean-counting meeting, uncharacteristically hunched-over. A lot of that flogging was probably coming down on her head, as Office Manager.

Peggy had the vacuum cleaner repaired in the city, picked it up before work (first thing), and delivered it to her mother's house after work.

Hey Dry Manhatten, are you saying it was Pete who threw the credenza out the window? He got in an argument with Trudy and there wasn't a baked chicken around so he grabbed the credenza? Cheers.

Don broke the ant farm right after his "whites of their pockets" comment just like his family lost their farm in Illinois the Jailai guy will lose his money.

@485Madison: Yes! The way Joan was spraying that insecticide it probably ruined the credenza with fleeing ants and chemicals.....so she had it hauled away. I'm not sure why she wouldn't just come right out and tell Pryce, but he'd probably expect her to clean it up and Joanie doesn't do that.

Hapynzap -
I think the reason the Whitman family lost the farm was because Daddy Dearest was dead, not because of bad investments. On the other hand, broke is broke.

Loved the line, "Don't stop until you see the whites of their pockets." i.e. empty.

I agree the credenza probably was never there to begin with (which shows how sloppy the "Americans" are with their inventories), but for fun, I will say Pete took it so he can practice being important at home. (And to spite them for requiring him to share the account manager position with Kenneth Cosgrove!)

My money's on that thief O Pompous One, Paul Kinsey.

.....Artemisia G.....I had the exact same thought about Pete.

Either he set up a mock office at home, to pretend every night that he is CEO of his own company, or pushed it out the window at being named CO-Head of Accounts.

D&S…..Hard to say, but there IS a disproportionate amount of hurling and throwing in this series.

Midge and the TV.

Pete and Ken mutual punches.

Don and the toy robot.

Pete and the baked chicken.

Don and his right hook.

Gene and his accusations (“He has no people!”)

Joan and her weight (around).

Bert and, well, everything.

A few more throwing and hurling for your list, Dry...

Don throwing everything off his desk in one clean sweep
Betty throwing up in Don's new car
Duck throwing his fists on the desk at the PPL merger meeting
Betty shoving Don and Don shoving Betty back
The entire SC staff throwing up green vomit in the trash cans after the Kennedy/Nixon election night
Roger throwing up oysters and martinis in the SC lobby
Betty throwing the dining room chair into the floor
Betty throwing Don out of the house
Bobbie Barrett throwing herself on Don in Don's car
Duck throwing Chauncey out into the streets
Don throwing a can of Pepsi out the window and trying to hook a stroller
Sally and Bobby thrown to the floor of the car when Betty had her car accident

Did I miss any?

Mitch has the credenza.

@ Drink: How about Burt Peterson's grandstanding and shoving everything off the secretaries' desks??
Don and the ant farm, but that wasn't emotional....

Betty smacking Helen Bishop's face was pretty intense.

Oh yeah...Don JAMMING his hand up Bobbie's -------(YOU FILL IN THE BLANK) :0

Hi Drink &Smoke!

Great post!! I think you got them all!!

.....D&S.....Best laugh I've had all day - how could I forget about the various "hurling," as they so euphemistically term it!

Also, we forgot the picnic trash in the park being flipped and shucked* all over the ground.....

[* Say that ten times fast!]

Hey Dry and Jolie (Hi 60's child ;o) ) I can't believe I forgot about the trash throwing/shucking in the park, the Betty and Helen smack down and Don throwing his hand up Bobbi's dress. Especially when those topics dominated the blog - for weeks! I'm starting to think maybe the credenza did get thrown out. It make sense since we see so many things that are thrown out/on/up in this series. Cheers.

.....Jolie.....Good ones - so many!

Hey, D&S.....Some guy is using your Dino over on the Lipp Sisters' Facebook page.....youse want I should mess him up good for youse?

I doubt we'll hear about the credenza again, but if we do it will be because it was found in some out of the way place. As others have said, it would not be practical to steal it.

I think Betty shot it.

Really, Dry? Someone's using my Dino avatar over there? Thanks for letting me know. He obviously has no imagination - or class. Cheers.

What is a credenza??
