Ah, the beginning of a new chapter in life, college: a journey of learning, making new friends, and of course, adapting to life with new roommates.
Check what your roommate has taken from you. If it’s not worth much, like low-value stuff, don’t bother reporting it to the police, even though you can do that easily online. Just remember, they might call you in for an interview later, which could be a hassle. But if your roommate has swiped valuable things like jewelry or pricey clothes, then it’s a good idea to file a police report.
Before you go ahead, make sure it’s your roommate who took the stuff. Think if anyone else could have done it. If you’re sure it was your roommate, try talking to them calmly first. If they deny it and you still believe they did it, then go ahead and report it to the police. After they investigate, your roommate might end up facing theft charges if there’s enough proof.
Apart from reporting theft to the police, you can also consider taking your roommate to court for what’s called “trespass against goods.” To do this, you’ll need to prove in court that your roommate deliberately took, used, or damaged your things without your permission, even if they returned them undamaged.
If your case for “trespass against goods” or “trespass to land” is successful, the court may order your roommate to compensate you for using your stuff without permission or stay out of your room in the future.do people steal? Stealing can happen for reasons like jealousy, feeling bad about oneself, or pressure from peers. It can also stem from social issues, like feeling left out or unappreciated.
