AIBU?

Stuff going missing

Lately things are going missing from the house. Amongst other things, eg. 40 fags from bedside table (no way I smoked 80 fags in 24 hours) and 20 quid from same. 20 quid was in a make up bag that sits in locker that is never out but was on bed, missing tenner, when I got home.

DP denies all knowledge. I've searched the house multiple time but to no avail.

These aren't big things in the scheme of things but having stripped searched the house, I'm at a loss as to where the stuff has gone.

Any ideas as to what's going on other than a) chain smoking ghost with a cash flow issue or b) I'm going nuts?

Is it just you and him living there?

Yes. And he's been out when I got home to find missing things

If it's only you and DP in the house then it's either DP or you're experiencing some memory loss issues and should see your GP.

I’m no poirot but I’m afraid DP isn’t looking good here.

@gardai he'd also be hard pressed to smoke that much in that time. I did wonder though

Maybe he’s an anti smoker ?

Cigs have a resale value.

@gardai perhaps a PA method of getting us both to give up?!

does anyone else have a key, or could anyone else have had a key copied?

He smokes rollies usually. Doesn't like "proper" fags

Who normally smokes the 40 a day, if half is missing?

In MN fashion I’d say he has a heavy smoking mistress and needs the cash to buy her Pinot Grigio (in boxes).

Trusted person had keys. Trust that DP isn't taking stuff or trusted person. At a loss

Have you got pets, or any possibility a cat has got in, or even rats or mice?

Not that your dog has nicked the money for a few drinks to wash down 40 cigs, but perfectly possible they've knocked them under furniture etc. Or chewed them.

The only way to solve it, is to have a motion activated camera in the bedroom set on when you are out.
Put something else enticing on your bedside table and wait.

I hope you have read the threads where someone comes in through the attic hatch in a row of terrace houses? ......

We have cats (now imagining cats in smoking jackets) but have checked under beds etc

Do you have friends who pop in to see you? I once had a so called mate nick a pair of shoes that I'd just bought! If you 100% trust your fella then, it has to be someone who has access (and just cause ) for being in your home? Something fishy is deffo happening for sure.
