<p>I think I would make a trip to the drugstore on SUN after the big weekend sale is posted and buy a large supply of candybars....then sit back and wait for the burping and farting which will preceed the tight jeans.....OH the dreaded FROSH 15....this can only continue for sooo long. Sit back and smile...knowingly smile.</p>
<p>I say you make him split costs for water/candy bars and then keep them in a public place so he doesn't go through your stuff anymore.</p>
<p>So roomy has no cash and is in denial that he haunts your sugary stash. As what point is it worth the piece of mind to just buy a couple of extra bars....or keep a bowl of snack size bars out for any guests. I'd say while this is maddening I sure wouldn't let it ruin my life...certainly not for .50/day. Look at the cost to your mental strain versus the cost of watching a fatty in the making.</p>
<p>just be upfront and ask if he's borrowing your candy. or ask in a joking way so that he doesnt feel attacked.</p>
<p>dont resort to a webcam because that's an invasion of privacy, and your roomate might not even be the one stealing from you. how would you feel being unknowingly watched in your own room?</p>
<p>Seriously, you people who are suggesting webcams should think about whether you want to be monitored.</p>
<p>the student safe program was such a success that after so many parents and students asked how they could get one housing asked the company to print up 500 leaflets to distribute across campus. after going to the expense of having these made and delivered to housing, housing was told they could not distribute them. in addition a frat on campus wanted them installed and housing arranged for the company to go to the frat house and arrange to install a number of these (measurements taken, space on the walls of the students rooms made avaliable, safes ordered), housing then denied the company permission to install the safes. </p>
<p>As far as so few students using them, the pilot program was for 50 safes and all the students said they were using them, on average 3 to 5 times a day. a number of the students who used them last year have called the company to have them installed this year. the students in e and f of cardinal gardens, as well as their parents were very happy to be able to use them this year and many other students and parents have asked if they can get them installed.</p>
<p>all of the parents and students as well as all the people in housing loved the notebooksafe, which can be seen at notebooksafe.com. at $105.00 per year per student everyone thought it was worth it. the company feels it must have been the dean of students who stopped the student safe program from going forward as everyone in housing loved it.</p>
<p>Go to your nearest cannibus club. Buy a weed toffee bar and or candy bar. Put it in your drawers. If it vanishes and your roommate looks like he hasnt slept in 5 days (dry red eyes) and just stares at things randomly, then hes the thief. Not only can you catch him, you get to mess that fool up.... he won't be able to put himself together for at least 1-2 days.</p>
<p>HA HA HA H AH A very very good suggestion. Of course did you think that the reason he is stealing the sugary treats is that he is already toast and used him money for jam.</p>
<p>What if he's not eating the candy bars, but selling them? Would that make you an indirect drug dealer?</p>
<p>zant...probably not, because you had no idea they were being sold for drug money. i guess if you knew, then you would be almost an accomplice, for supplying what he needs to do illegal things.
(whether or not that was a serious question, that's y answer) :)</p>
<p>Or better you misunderstood her question. Not drug money but selling a candybar laced with a drug. Do you see the difference?</p>
<p>Zante I guess if roomie is selling the pinched candy bars then you would soon have folks knocking on the door and asking if they can purchase a candy bar now wouldn't you? I mean if the supply is steady, pricing is to market, volume of sales increases. If the buzz is reliable the word will spread. Pretty soon the line is down the hall and your roommate has stopped attending class....the phone is ringing off the hook and the RA is storing the extra inventory for the big game weekends.</p>
<p>oops...i did misread the question. but now i got it. most definitely you would be an accomplice then, because you were the one supplying the drug-laced candy in the first place. regardless of whether or not the roomate sold them, you would be guilty of something illegal because you gave them access to the candy.</p>
<p>webcam? I would be careful about this ... filming someone without their permission may well be 1) against the law or 2) against your school's policies and might lead to serious consequences for you ... I'd check the rules before heading in this direction.</p>
<p>Webcam is so not worth it for a candy bar. I'd just "invest" a few bucks in some bite-size chocolate bars, put them in a "community jar" and ask my roomate to contribute periodically. I found that having a little candy jar and snacks in my dorm room or on my desk made my area a gathering place where my friends could socialize.</p>
<p>Copy a 20 dollar bill in a color copier (the face side only) . trim it to look like the bill. fold it so the unprinted side is inside. Put in in your top drawer or on your dresser. if the guy takes it he'll soon be embarassed and he.ll know you know. of course you.ll probably never become friends though.</p>
<p>put some pictures of homosexual men engaging in sexual acts in the drawer. If he starts acting strange/avoiding you, then you'll know its him</p>
<p>^^^^best idea i've read!</p>
<p>One of my best friends developed a drug problem in our senior year of high school. To get drugs, she stole money from me, other friends of ours, random people in the school, and most importantly our guidance advisor, who was our friend more than anything. He used to let us eat lunch in his office and do all sorts of favors for us - then she started stealing from him too. He put many small bills into areas where she had taken money from him before - his coats pockets, the uppermost drawer in his desk, etc. He wrote on the bills, things like, "if you need money for lunch just ask me," "don't steal from an ally," and all sorts of other things. a few days later nearly all of those small stashes were gone and she never stole from him again, although she did steal from others. i would try to do something like that. in a roomie situation, i would put something like "do you need to borrow money?" "it would be more productive if you asked before you just took stuff?" etc.</p>
<p>I have a question. I got a rommate (not college) who’s probably one of the most ■■■■■■■■ people i have met in my life. It’s a house and 4 people share it, this guy being 1 of them. He would use my tooth paste, shaving cream, toilet paper, probably shampoo etc quite often if not daily (started hiding my stuff in room). I buy good expensive products so i would consider that straight up stealing. At first i thought he may just be really broke, he doesn’t have more than 2 dishes, for some reason he thought it was ok to use mine and leave them dirty in the sink for me to clean. The one time he cleaned my dishes after using them, they had food stains all over, so now i need to worry about which of my dishes are clean? No one pissed me off like that before…manager will kick him out, he has 30 days. But i was wondering, because he steals my ■■■■, and would do ■■■■■■■■ things like use my dish sponge to clean beer off the floor then just puts it back etc…can’t the manager kick him out sooner? Mostly fixating on the stealing although it is not that big a steal it and i cannot prove it, does piss me off. Some of my dishes were in his room for days and he calls me a liar, then i notice its back in the kitchen 30 mins later.</p>
<p>When i see that he has lived here for almost 2 months and doesn’t buy his own products yet, even though he has money to buy beer every day, weed, a 400 dollar trampoline, surround sound speakers for his room etc. I confront him and ask whats the deal, and instead of apologizing or saying he wont do it anymore, he calls me out on it as if im a liar. He’s getting kicked out but i was curious if manager would have right to kick him out sooner for doing this to me and other roommates. I gave more detail then necessary to humor you with the stupidity of this guy…(the guy has no car and wastes money like a moron, but doesn’t bother to buy products he can steal)</p>
