    This happened a while ago, but, I just found this sub, so here goes. I used to live on the 3rd floor of an apartment that had its laundry in the basement. Which means 4 flights of stairs for me, no elevator,

    and I have a newborn so I'm washing quite a bit. So we have cubbies in the laundry room for our soap and stuff. I've lived there a year and never had an issue leaving my soap down there.

    Apparently, some new people had moved in that were using my soap. When I realized it, I left a note asking that they stop. Nothing. They kept using. Okay. Now I'm

    I got 2 bottles of soap. A blue colored one. And clear colored one. Marked the bottles CLEARLY that they belonged to me (so they couldn't accidentally say they thought they were theirs) filled the blue soap with blue Rit dye. Filled the clear soap with unscented bleach. And waited....

    Didn't take long. The next morning I hear screaming coming from the laundry room. 4 floors up I heard it. I waited a while and ventured downstairs. In the laundry room I found a bunch of wet clothes in the garbage that were bleach stained. 4 days later I saw a young man get into a car with a blue stained t-shirt.

    I once had someone who would take our clothes out of the washer and leave them on a shelf instead of putting them in a dryer or letting us know our clothes were done. And I never let them set more than five minutes. I had a timer on my phone. I figured out who did it by sneaking and watching through a window.

    For a week or so, any time they did laundry, I would wait for them to leave, then open up the washer at the beginning of the cycle. Their clothes didn't get washed and then they had to wait for them to cycle through.

    Edit: to clarify, it wasn't the fact that they took our clothes out and just left them out. They'd take our clothes out sometimes before the cycle was finished. Or if the clothes were washed, they'd take them out, then start their own load and take up the dryers so even when I came back to switch the loads, there wouldn't be an available dryer

    SullyDuggs You reminded me of when I lived next to some ag-ed gangsters that had no qualms with stealing my gas canisters. I loaded one with heavily sugared gas. Next thing you know I hear one of the Vatos yelling how their car won't run anymore. They also managed to shoot my dog so I wasn't sore in the least.

    desireewhitehall · Oh God, that's awesome. Way to go! I can only imagine the satisfaction of bringing such screams to a thief.

    [deleted] Phun Soap... now it sounds like even sketchier soap. Anyway good going, those people. I bet they're the kind of people who steal lunches out of office fridges without even thinking much about it.
