Hi Guys, (this might be a bit long winded so bear with me)
Having a bit a of a problem in the house i'm living at. Over the last week i suspect 1 of my housemates is stealing my stuff didnt notice it till last night i found my brand new digital camera had gone missing (the one i'd got for christmas)

Thought i'd mis-placed it so went looking for it, Couldnt find it in the usual places i hide stuff...went to bed pretty damned upset cause my dad bought it me for Xmas..(hope you're still with me)

While rummaging around my desk looking for a DS Game i knew was there a coupla days before i realised some personal stuff of mine and my boyfriends had gone missing too and the last straw came bout half an hr ago...Was just heading to the shops to get some stuff and i KNEW i'd got a 20pound note in there went to get my wallet out Lo and behold the 20 had disappeared. I really dont know what to do! Any help would be much appreciated

Hm, you should be real careful accusing someone. If you're wrong that would be a pretty sucky thing. I've heard some horror stories about that at work. It's easier said than done, but I'd try to get some prove or catch him/her red handed. If you'd confront them with it now I can only imagine they would deny it.

how many roomates do you have?

Yeah, you definitly need to get some proof. Maybe trap the person with a video camera and bait.

I agree. I've been in a similar situation before. My friends mom always puts her cash in a dresser drawer in case my friend or her sister want to go out for lunch or something. $140 went missing. I was accused, I didn't talk to my friend for MONTHS and then her sister fessed up it was her. She took it to go get her hair done.

If your any good at reading responses and expressions, ask your roomies if they've seen your stuff.

Spent today talking stuff over and i kinda realise that since i have absolutly no trust in my housemates anymore i'm gonna try move out as soon as i can. My boyfriend said something along the lines of "if they've done it once they'll do it again"
As to setting a trap my landlord suggested it and i'm not really in a place to lose anything else the 20pounds i lost was supposed to be for travel so i could get to work this week

Thanks for all your advice, very much appreciated! *hands e-cookies out*
