How to deal with someone stealing food?

I live in the university dormitory. In the beginning of term I left a cake in the fridge and the next day I discovered it had been stolen. Recently, the thieving has intensified. Only last week someone stole my food three times. Some other students have had it even worse. Pizza, fruits, desserts, yoghurt and eggs have vanished from our fridge. What¡¯s more, a cettle and a frying pan have also been stolen from the kitchen. Some senior students said it was the same thing a year ago, and they had no idea whether it was someone from the school or an outsider. This gets everyone annoyed to the max and the atmosphere between students is tense. Can anyone suggest anything that could be done?

Problem solved!
I bought a coke can spy camera from lightinthebox.com and put that in the fridge!
It looks good, isn't it?:D |

Instead of food, leave money there. I know this sounds counter-intuitive but people are less likely to steal money (which would make them thieves) than material goods already paid for (which would make them "smart" in their world view).
Yes, I'm telling you to do something ludicrous. First because this is true (Dan Ariely has already made some experiments concerning this strange quirk in human behaviour) and secondly because a bot wouldn't ever understand the words I'm typing and come up with a descent reply. Are you human? Or are you going to post a random link in your next reply? |

Stop being a and learn the art of confrontation.
I stole my roommates food all year long, he knew it, but said nothing. |

Agreed. Make a delicious-looking laxative cake. |

Welcome to share housing. Population: You.
Get some cheap food, that you expect to be stolen. Let them steal it. As soon as it's gone, put a note on your fridge stating that 'some or all' of the food that recently went missing was tainted with your semen. Also state that 'some or all' food left in the fridge from now on, will also be tainted with your semen.
If you're still getting thefts, mention the word 'hepatitis' on the next note. |

Remember to mention you have one or more STD's. |
