Best way to find food stealer...

Buy a pint of milk, take a swig, then leave it on your radiator for a week with the lid on. Put it back in the fridge and await loud retching noise from kitchen. Rush in to discover the identity of your food thief..

You'd check the milk before you used it. Thief or not :p

I say the poo method is funniest.
 
My brother continually had his food and drink stolen while at uni, so he left some rat poison in his orange juice when he left
 
If you've got a mate doing chemistry, get him/her to smuggle out some iodine crystals and a small bottle of ammonia 880. Crush the crystals, soak in the ammonia for 2-3 hrs, strain through filter paper. Smear the paste around the inside of the milk cap and put the cap back on. Whoever doesn't have a hand in the morning is your thief.
 
so have you offered that everyone chips in money for milk and butter yet ? or still going to poison them ?

seriously whats the point of having multiple tubs of butter and multiple pints of milk in the fridge :/

Or just tell everyone in the flat that you're planning to do this because you're fed up with it.
It could go one of two ways, they mess with your food themselves or they don't touch it again.
 
On the non revenge route:

Lockable fridge box sounds like a good idea tbh?

Also if you wanted a non powered fridge in your room then you could go for a cool box and ice packs from the freezer? 2 or more and rotate should keep everything cool enough (:?

Sorry I'm going to be terribly boring and post a sensible suggestion :p Have you thought of trying a lockable fridge crate? Google for 'Fridge Locker', designed for exactly this reason.

Mubs this is GENIUS! I can't find any smaller sizes though!

Edit: I guess one of those plastic stackable cage things with a couple of locks would do the trick too ;) I ALWAYS have probs with people stealing my milk. I reverted to bringing it in in a tupperware container - people aren't quite sure of it then ;)

^^^Now that is awesome, wish I'd know about that back then :D :D :D

With a bit of One Shot drain cleaner in the Coke it would have burned like hell fire as well :)

Ahaha I did that in my shared house a few years back! The mess in the kitchen was a sight to behold and the person who was covered in drink blamed me for him stealing it and making a mess...

I used to just buy some milk, empty some out and get some warm water filled with salt mixed in then top it up with the water. Looks exactly the same as milk, doesnt smell of anytihng but alas cereal covered in heavily salted milk makes people stop stealing milk. After I did that and someone made coffee with it I never had a problem again. Best thing was that I saw the guy actually DRINKING from my milk carton and a second later spewing in the sink. I wasn't happy to see he was stealing people's milk by drinking from the carton, but alas the revenge worked as he never did it again.

Either that, or search ebay for "Gum camera" and hide it in the fridge somewhere if you get up early then check back footage later on... The lockable food container is the best option though to be honest as even asking people to not nick food doesn't work and it is incredibly annoying at 6am when you get up for work and want coffee/cereal only to find that someone has used up all your milk!!! :mad:

Using bodily fluids is just weird though so I wouldn't suggest that unless you want to be put on the mental health register when they find out as "The man who craps in butter".
 
I hated this at uni :mad:

Milk was the worst one, I just got a mini fridge in the end but I'll be watching this thread closely :D
 
a guy i used to work with at a gardening fertilizer firm used to get his tea time cake nicked for weeks so he covered one in some of the stuff used called bitrex haha he wouldnt of tasted anything else for weeks after that :D

Ha! That stuff sounds nasty. Odourless too so they would have no idea what to expect...

Bitrex® is the brand name of the bitterest substance yet discovered - Denatonium Benzoate. It is inert and odourless, but a few parts per million are enough to make products unpalatable. Approved as a ethanol denaturant of choice in over 40 countries since its discovery in 1958 by Macfarlan Smith.

Some awesome ideas in this thread.. some disturbing ones too! :eek:

That Bitrex stuff sounds horrible. You should do it!

Being slightly boring I should point out that really strong chillies can trigger a heart attack - so I would be careful about how many Naghas you sprinkle in your cornflakes!
