*kicks a soap box out in to the square and steps on*

Stealing, theft, misappropriation and borrowing without asking. It upsets me for a number of reasons. I've been very irritated recently, and for some very specific reasons--mainly the ones I just mentioned. Someone, and I have good suspicions about who, has decided it would be fun to take things that belong to me. I put a lock on my door to ( Read more... )

That's not good if someone is taking stuff from you... the only problem with not saying anything is they might feel like they got away with it or they can keep doing it. Is this person someone who you've lived with/been around a long time? Did something change around the time these items started disappearing? Have you mentioned that these things are missing and you really want/need them back?

It's really frustrating when people take things so I don't blame you for being angry or upset. But I also would wonder if this is something where you might eventually need to find different living arrangements if the person shows no signs of stopping.

I live at a friends house. Her parents left the state and couldn't sell their house before they left so their daughter lives in the house and rents out the rooms. Aside from said friend and myself there are two others who live there--one of which I get along with and the other passive aggressive prick who used to be a friend (and hasn't figured it out yet that we aren't any more). He's the one who refused not to use homophobic language around me. I think I've posted about him before. Anyway, he's the one I suspect of taking my stuff. Any time he gets pissed he does something to get back at the person. So far I've had the most stuff knowingly go missing to the extent that I have a running list on the board down stairs ( ... )

Yeah that's super sketchy. Is there any way this guy can be asked to move out?

Not at the moment. No evidence just circumstantial theorizing. And as it is it'd probably take a restraining order to make him leave.

:( Is he on a lease? That's the only other thing I could think that could help.

Anyway I hope things get better!

I don't know. I know I'm not. My landlady never had me sign any sort of contract or roommate agreement so I have to assume he hasn't had to either.

Still, without any evidence it just doesn't make sense to kick someone out and loose $600 +/- a month. Frustrating, yes. Perhaps I'm naive and would feel bad if someone got kicked out without any evidence...it wouldn't bring my stuff back. I want hard cold evidence, but I'm not about to demand to see his room just to get it. Kinda chicken that way.

The whole situation sucks... I wish there was a way to get around it. But if multiple things have gone missing there's clearly something going on. And if whatever it is isn't addressed, it's true that your things won't be returned but it also means that more things will likely be stolen that also won't be returned ( ... )
