They moved out last night, but I noticed that a couple of my things are no longer here. Most of my silverware is gone, all but 2 of my dishes are gone, and my iron is gone. I don't know if the roommates mistakenly took these things, or they did it on purpose because they needed them, but either way, I'm a little ruffled about it.

I had a whole set of dishes that were quite nice, as well as glasses. All my dishes are gone, and all my glasses are gone. I have 2 bowls, 2 cups, 2 glasses (which are not even mine), and a handful of silverware. For some reason, my roommate left a few pans in the oven...I don't know if she forgot them or what.

I have no way of contacting my roommates to find out where they are now living or how to get back my stuff. I don't really feel like making a tizzy over all of this, but I would prefer to have more than 2 damn dishes. I am wondering if they took my dishes out of spite or something, because I was not overly upset or concerned about them leaving. Don't get me wrong, they were very cool to me, as I was to them. But, they are not people who I would become friends with had we not been forced to live together.

Any suggestions? Should I just forget about it?

I know my mother will be tossing a big fit because she's the one who bought me all the things that are now missing.

I thought about it, and I don't think I'm going to piss and moan about it. The iron and the glasses were brand-new, but the entire set of dishes were from a thrift store. Nothing expensive there. I know how my mother is with money (very cheap), so she'll probably have a bitchy fit over this...if she finds out anyway.

Thanks for the help, guys...I'll keep you updated if anything comes up regarding my missing items.

However. There's probably some lesson for you to learn, in this. Perhaps it's time to be more careful who you trust with your things.

Someone left a brand-new Macintosh keyboard here for one of my roommates, and I sure hope they aren't expecting me to deliver it. Sorry, but since my possessions were stolen, I am keeping the keyboard and will probably sell it to another student or get it on eBay. Whatever was left here by them, I am keeping; this includes quite a few food items and some cups.
