I once had very similar situation. I worked as SysAdmin in a pretty big office, and the local meme at the time was that sysadmins are shamans, so one colleague brought a big shaman drum and put it on the wall in our office. Before that we had some rogue problems with the internet access, but with the drum on the wall they were gone completely. Then the big boss saw it and told us to take it down because it was unprofessional. The rogue internet outings returned immediately.
But unlike OOP we went full debug mode. Setup a series of experiments, including taking serious of photos with and without the drum. Turns out one of the guys in the office was deeply religious, was deathly afraid of the pagan symbol, so he moved his desk as far away from it and as close to the opposite wall as possible, thus moving it from the cable that secretly was lying under the rug. When the symbol was down, he moved his desk back so he can have more space.
