DP and I have just recently moved into a shared house with 4 others; A who is quite well off and the lead tenant, B of unknown income, and C&D a couple who don’t have a lot of disposable income.
This weekend we went away and came back to find both our laptops missing. Mine was in our bedroom which is on the top floor, and was either on the desk or the bed. DP’s was in the living room.
Upon realising that the laptops were gone, A seemed quite freaked out at the possibility of someone having been in the house. He has now decided to get the locks changed. I strongly believe it wasn’t him who took them.
B isn’t home but has written a message in the group chat to say he would also like the locks changed and doesn’t feel safe.
C&D don’t seem at all bothered (though I guess some people are just chilled). When I asked if their laptops were kept on show in their bedrooms (based on the hypothesis that someone has broken in and quickly taken what they could see), C said theirs were out in their bedroom. This hypothesis is also supported by the fact that my charger was left behind. When I explained my hypothesis, he said they’re tucked away next to the bed.
So either a) someone with a key has come in and taken them, b) someone has noticed the unlocked door and taken them, or c) someone in the house has taken them.
I think it is option b, my mum thinks c. So, wise mumsnetters; whodunnit?
