Absolutely dumbfounded by thieves at my University.

Maybe the OP got really fucking high and ate the chips, then forgot about the whole thing.

I'm onto you, hippie scum.

Or maybe....

Maybe the chips got amazingly fucking high and ate themselves. O_O

And the door just opened in shock!

Well, that's one mystery solved.

Uh, at least you didn't loose anything valuable...

 

[The Heik]

Just got back to my dorm after hanging out with some friends, door is unlocked, at this point I'm really dreading going in, because obviously someone broke in, couldn't be my roommate as he isn't back on campus yet.

Walk in and notice nothing is missing, my door to my room is open and the light in the kitchen (the counter with the microwave) are on, go in my room and nothing is missing, alright, maybe the cleaning ladies busted in while I was away to scrub the floors, head to the kitchen to grab a drink and I realized something was taken... a single bag of potato chips.

Not the flatscreen TV, not the Xbox 360, not the PC, roommates Mac, not the video games, not anything of any value, a single fucking bag of potato chips.

So I ask the people of the Escapist, is this an isolated incident? Have you encountered friendly or stupid thieves? Why would a thief steal a singular bag of chips when better food was available?

You've never heard of the munchies have you?

Um, maybe you just ate the chips and forgot? It seems pretty ridiculous to jump to the conclusion that someone broke into your room to steal a bag of chips. It probably was the cleaning ladies and either you misplaced the chips or the cleaning ladies decided they deserved a snack.

It was a big bag, I bought them yesterday, I locked my door, cleaning ladies aren't allowed to enter when we aren't there, also they aren't allowed in the actual bed room, my bedroom door was open. Not really jumping to anything. Either someone broke in or the cleaning ladies are stepping way out of bounds.

Wait, you have cleaning ladies for your dorm rooms? Seriously? When the hell did this start?

 

[LarenzoAOG]

It's university, people nick food of each other all the time. Seems more likely you left the door unlocked or the cleaners did than someone broke in? Any visible lock damage?

Nope, but there was an incident where master keys were stolen and a rash of thefts occurred, until they busted into the RA's room while he was still there.

snip?

You've never heard of the munchies have you?

I have, and in my dorm that's not very surprising, but there was better food available right next to the chips, so I still don't understand the thought process.

I don't rightfully know, University's been around since 1898, and as far as anyone I know can remember we've had janitor ladies, some of whom may be willing to acquire chips via morally dubious acts.

In university I'd imagine it's much more likely a friend/acquaintance popped the lock and was waiting for you or something, and ate the chips while waiting. Our dorms were typically unlocked inside the building and theft was extremely rare.

I was chilling with my friends at the time, all the ones on campus at least.

This is actually much smarter than you give them credit.
Steal a TV, the police'll be on their asses and find them, steal a bag of chips? You're not likely to even call it in.

That's what you think, I'm bringing those motherfuckers to justice.

If the Police don't laugh in your face, sure.

We had a weird case at my university where random shit was disappearing from labs. It turns out a former graduate student was making/taking meth on campus and had also aquired a master key to just about every lab. So basically when he was tweaking he would just wander around taking random shit from peoples lab. When the police let us visit his crime stash to recover our sutff, I was the most random assortment of shit I have ever seen. You might check with other people in the dorm if they are missing random items, it could be that you arent the target of a master crimminal but just some dude who gets high who also happens to have a master key.

I think the breaking and entering is going to turn more heads than the theft of a $3 bag of chips, although I'm not sure if breaking into a dorm room really counts. I'll find out though.

EDIT: The consensus seems to be that the chips were eaten by someone who was high or that they were unhappy and left of their own accord. That's one mystery solved.

Have you ruled out friends pulling a prank. Or maybe you forgot to lock the door and you're just mis-remembering.

 

[hooblabla6262]

It was me.
I ate your chips.
They were delicious.

Forgetting to lock the door, possibly. The other two definitely not.
