I lock my keyboard away when I leave... I'll sleep better knowing nobody made it off with my 200$ mechanical clacker. As a side bonus I don't get mystery things locked when I arrive the next morning.

What country are you operating out of? I've never heard of cleaning people doing this in offices in the US.

Every Silicon Valley, NYC, and Denver office I’ve worked in had cleaning crews who dusted desks / keyboards at least weekly, if not more often.
Source: I’ve been in the office working when they came through.

Weird, guess they don't care about us developers in the mid-atlantic region.

I'm in Portugal. When I worked in London (UK) it was the same.
I bet the people removing caps lock, scroll lock, insert etc are doing it because of the "cleaning ladies"! Not because they accidentally hit the keys.
But because in most offices, keyboards are swiped clean daily by cleaning crews and when you arrive each morning you find an assortment of those keys toggled on or off.
(I have even locked my Windows account on occasion due to not noticing a combination of Caps Lock / Num Lock toggled on/off in the morning)
