Now I know I moaned yesterday about my lovely housemates keeping me awake that night, but now they've took it one step further by removing my last pieces of Dominos Pizza which were defrosting on top of the fridge for my tea last night. I don't know whether they were eaten or thrown in the bin, but that's past the point. I subsequently posted an angry FaceBook message and hoped that had it been an accident, the person would have owned up and apologised.
Later that night I heard another housemate in the corridor outside my room talking about stolen food. To be honest I thought she was bitching about me and my post since I did hear my name crop up, but no, she too had had food stolen. 3 pots of Muller Rice to be exact when she'd only bought 4 the day before.
This led me to question how must do I actually trust the people I live with? Should everything be kept under lock and key?
Up until recently, my food cupboard in the kitchen was padlocked basically to protect from drunk people with munchies, but now I've trusted them enough to take it off (to be honest I don't have much worth stealing in there). I always lock my door when I'm leaving the house for a fair bit of time - going to porter's, laundry, or Costcutter's doesn't count. I have my laptop, printer, etc to protect.
I know what's happened is really petty for me to complain about, but to have anything stolen no matter how small, would surely upset and annoy anyone?
I have my suspicions over who it was and shared them with Tasha who agrees that it could be highly likely, but I'm not going to come out and ask them considering (if it's one of the 2 out of the 3 I'm suspecting) I hope to be spending a fair bit of time at their house next year so falling out won't be great.
Still on the Lookout

The same thing happened to me in halls! I lost lots of bread and milk and a few flatmates lost things too - we couldn't lock our cupboards or the fridge though! Not sure we ever worked out who it was...!
