Guys i need some help. I am living in halls at the mo and everything has been going great... that is until now. I live in a flat with 6 other girls and recently things have started to go missing. First little things like orange juice and ham. But now whole bottles of things, loaves of bread, chocolate and alcohol are disappearing to.
We have narrowed it down to 1 girl in the flat (it wasn't hard!) but what do we do?
1)confront her and risk living the rest of the year with her never speaking to us
2)Leave it and end up with no food at all
3)set a trap to catch her in the act
4)(and we really don't want it to come to this) Inform the hall administrator that she is stealing from us
You may all think this is petty but on a student budget we just can't afford to lose things.
WHAT DO WE DO?????

Anyway on a more practical level, I would have a quiet word with her, I wouldnt all go charging in together, its gonna make her feel like shit and that the whole flat hates her. If you just say something like "listen, im pretty sure its you nicking all our stuff, can you stop because its not really fair", or words to that effect. Be firm, but nice.Be gentle yet tough.
Hope things work out.

Mama I love you, Mama I care.
Anyone else at Manchester uni?
oh and we didnt really fall out..
hope you get it sorted its a pain in the arse coming home to food etc missing
So in desperation we put some fairy liquid, (a very small amount!! ) in with some orange juice and left it in the fridge as bait. Bingo!! She drank so!! I came into the kitchen as she was spitting down the sink and i saw the carton next to her. She didn't see me though
Since then all food in our flat has been safe, nothing has gone missing and she is walking around with a guilty look on her face and being nice to every one!!!!!!!!!
Thanx again guys you've given this story a happy ending!!!!!!!!!!1
Anyhow its an all girls flat so u could be guaranteed that there would be a queue 4 the loo! Plus we ration toilet roll so that would have been a bad idea!!!!
Hmmmmm...... might work on the lads next door though!
