My roommates decided that they do not want to live in school-sponsored housing any longer, so they went and rented their own apartment, along with a couple of other girls. They asked me to go with them, but I declined - I prefer to remain here. 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.

Replies LinZ Posted at 12:58 pm on Mar. 9, 2006 Eh, the items stolen were not of tremendous value. They are damn lucky that those dishes were not of any value greater than what I paid for them...otherwise I would make their existence living hell until I got back what belonged to me. 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. lunasantin Posted at 11:24 pm on Mar. 7, 2006 I'd say it depends on the value of what was stolen. There is a principle in the matter, but if you're not going to be seeing these people again anyway, and it's not a loss you're going to feel... do you really care? 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. dude69 Posted at 9:14 am on Mar. 7, 2006 dont worry about it LinZ Posted at 9:25 pm on Mar. 6, 2006 Wow, this sure got replies rather quickly.

However, your former roomates had to leave a mailing address for the school to send stuff to. If you contact housing or the registrar, explain the situtaion, they may be able to help you. sk3l3t0n l0st bl00d Posted at 7:28 pm on Mar. 6, 2006 i think you shouldn't let it bother you, but if by chance you see them, you should ask where that stuff is Shads Posted at 7:21 pm on Mar. 6, 2006 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations Rhapsody Posted at 7:17 pm on Mar. 6, 2006 I assume that somehow you guys go to the same school or college. So my recommendation to you then is to wait until you see them at school and ask them about these things that you can't locate.
