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

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.

If people are claiming maybe they're just in a mess in a room then perhaps you guys should all take a day to do a super thorough cleaning of the house and your rooms. Then he can't claim it's that. If things keep going missing then it puts more credence on your theory.

Also, if you have anything go missing that would have something like a make/model/serial number on it I would recommend reporting the theft (or possibly 'mysterious disappearance') to the police department. There's an international database that police reports can tie into depending on the department's program and some departments also tie into things like the local pawn shops, which means if your item is pawned in your area or recovered in another state it might be able to be returned to you and they might be able to get some leads on who is involved. Who knows, maybe it really ISN'T that guy and it's some guest who's coming over. But that could potentially help lead toward those things.

It all depends on the department, though.

[ETA] Actually I meant to say national database but I'm not sure, it might have international functions too depending on the department.
