    Are food thieves real?
    Community Answer
    Yes, people really do steal food. Some people have a psychological problem. Others steal as revenge. Still others have a sense of entitlement (the world belongs to them).
  • Question
    Should I steal their lunch as revenge if they steal mine?
    Community Answer
    No. You shouldn't steal someone's lunch just because they stole yours. If someone is stealing yours, and you catch them, confront them. Taking someone else's lunch will only lead to more problems, especially if you're mistaken about who you believe is stealing from you.

    I think my dad has been eating my chocolates, cookies and pastries without my permission, when he's at my condo while I'm at work. How can I keep him out of them?
    Community Answer
    Open the bag or box and hot glue it or tape it back together. Or, hide the food in your room somewhere. Or, leave a message in the food packaging saying: "Hi, I know you're eating my treats. It's fine as long as you replace them."
  • Question
    What if they ask to steal it?
    Community Answer
    Say no if you don't want to share your lunch.
