Sometime yesterday or this morning, I was ripped off for $2,000 in cash. The money was in an unlocked attache case inside my private room of a shared home.
I kept about $5,000 in cash in my attache case inside my bedroom. Yesterday, I spent about $2,000 of that money buying textbooks (this is my occupation), leaving $3,000 in two envelopes, one having $1,000 and the other $2,000. Today, when I went to get some money for paying a bill, I only found the $1,000 in the case but the other envelope was missing.
I have torn my room upside down looking for it. I know I had the money in there and there are only two possiblities. The first is that one of the professor's somehow managed to slip out one of the envelopes when I was in their office buying books (pretty damn unlikely but not impossible) or the second is that when I took the dog out for a walk last night or this morning, my roomie or her low life guest (an unemployed male) came into my room and opened up my unlocked attache case and took one of the envelopes.
I think it more likely that it happened here and I'm trying to figure out what to do about it. I called the cops and they said without proof they could do nothing and that I could be charged with slander if I accuse them of taking the money! Well SHIT.
I'm trying to figure out what to do about this. You think I should confront them and ask them what happened to the money? There would be no way I can prove anything. The money was unmarked small bills.
I guess the days when you can trust someone not to rip you off are long gone.
