Ratting someone out was a lot worse than stealing where I went to college :Q

Ratting someone out for sleeping with an exgirlfriend is one thing, but taking $1200 worth of stuff is fvcked up. The only collection of things I have worth that much are my PC and my HT system, and heads would roll if anything like that happened.

Well, you know, take your time; your conscience hasn't gotten to you or anything, so it's not like there's a rush. :p

Here's what you do.... wait till he's gone... let his roomate know about it.. take EVERYTHING out of the room and put it in yours. Be like.. you shouldn't leave your door unlocked.... people could STEAL something... you bastard... serves you right...

Put his junk in the dumpster

It's all Karma, you don't report the people comiting real crimes that directly impact other people and it will happen to you and no one will help you when you have substantial losses. An ordered society requires that everyone report behavior that is harming someone else.

He has been bragging about it to some people, and told me also, so Now I dont trust him at all when he comes over

Why are you welcoming an admitted thief into your place? If you piss him off, you know what'll happen. Don't come crying to ATOT when he cleans YOU out.

Confront him and tell him to give what he stole back. If he doesn't that call security. If your roommate had been stealing from you, wouldn't you want him to be caught?

I had a klepto roomate back in college. He tried to charge his dorm RENT to my card. He then tried to use it at a tattoo place. I called the cops and pressed charges against him, and moved out of the room. Before I left, I found his soc. sec # and dropped him from all of his classes (it was at the beg of a semester).

A couple weeks after pressing charges, I was in our lounge with a girl watching TV, around 2 in the morning. Next thing I see is the sheriff come off the elevator, go to my old room, and cuff klepto. He was in his pajamas (and had apparently been sleeping), and they cuffed him and took him down to the station. It was priceless! Before all of this, his dad tried to call me and pleaded not to press charges. I told him, he did it before (he charged $2K worth of J.Crew from an ex girl roomate and had it delivered to WHERE THEY LIVED! The girl didn't press charges), and this time he was going to pay.

revenge is the only answer.

Start stealing his stuff, but small things with no value other than to him. Start off with his socks, just take one from each pair. Then take every pen or pencil that he has. Move on to random keys from his keyboard. The finishing touch would be one of his eyebrows.

And you haven't told his roommate why?!? Is that what you'd want if it was happening to you, for everyone to know but not tell you? That's just wrong. :thumbsdown:

I read the title and I"m thinking:

Roomate: Have you seen my Jacket? It looks just like the one you're wearing. Even has the same stains.

Him: Nope, sorry.

Homosexuals steal things a certian way, it's hard to explain.

Now I'm curious, can you please explain? I find it rather peculiar. :eek:

It's kind of like a straight person stealing, except they're very well dressed and they smell nice. He's right, it is hard to explain.
