I expect that one day somebody will discover large cache of stolen pens and pencils that have disappeared during previous decades.
I have found a way how to protect myself from the Pen Eater. He does not like fountain pens. I have used my fantastically writing fountain pen for years. During those years I have lost many dozens of other pens, yet, my trusty fountain pen remains. Every time somebody needs to put something down in a hurry and grabs my fountain pen I hear: "OOOps, a *fountain* pen!" then he puts the pen carefully back and runs off to grab another writing implement.
So. Not all of us, fountain pen users are snobs ;-)
