Alright, I'm venting and raging pissed and want a little more advice before I go ape shit on my new roomate. I am not the most organized person in the world, but when it comes to my games and movies I know where everything is located and I always keep it in the same place. That being said, I went to go watch some Planet Earth HD DVD last night, and sure enough they weren't were they usually are. So I proceeded to check all the rest of the room, and no sign of them. I checked closets, and my bedroom and still nothing. They shouldn't have been anywhere else but on the DVD shelf with all my other HD DVDs, but I still proceeded to double and triple check all other locations. Not there and there is a blank space where it used to be staring at me from the DVD shelf. On top of that, they are HD-DVDs, which almost no one would have any practical use for.
Now, the roomate backstory. I have two. One who has lived there a year, and who I knew a year before that. She is always on time with bills, she works hard and goes to college. I trust her completley. My last roomate moved out, and he is also a longtime friend who even offered to pay an extra month to help me out until I found a new roomate. He wouldn't have taken them either. We enter in the third potential culprit, the new roomate.
I pick him up from the airport two weeks ago, and he tells me he blew his rent money in Vegas on the way here, and said he would pay me double at the end of the month when he got his first check from his new job. So, being the nice guy I am I said, sure, as long you are on time at the end of the month we are good. So I feel bad for him because he sleeps on the floor cause he has no money, he eats rice every day to conserve, and walks everywhere. I feel sorry for him, and wake up an hour early to drive him to work on rainy days, and offer to take him to Wal-Mart for when he gets money to buy stuff like a bed etc. Well anyways, everythings good until the other night when he invites me out to drink with him. I get there and he is already lit up real good, and is so obnoxious I thought I was going to hit him, or have to hit someone else to break up a fight because he was physically grabbing random people (mostly girls) and insulting them. He is offering to buy me and other random girls shots of whatever. I find this strange considering he couldn't pay rent at the beginning of the month. He was pissing people off so bad I had to get him out of there, so I take him and my friend to a quiet late night place, where he proceeds to insult our waiter and creep out the girls sitting in the booth next to us. I was completley embarrased. He then proceeds me to tell me he thinks its too cold in the apartment, and that I'm too loud when I watch TV downstairs. In three years and 4 roomates, no one has ever complained about the TV at any volume, ever. He then tells me when the check comes, "I know what your thinking mother fucker, but don't worry. You'll get your money at the end of the month." He pays his own tab, and we go home. I offer to let him use our extra blankets because he doesn't have any and he said it was cold to which he replies, "I don't take anything from anybody. I used to be homeless, I can survive anything." I find it very odd, considering he is 27 years old.
So the next day, my long time friend who hung out that night stayed over, and my new roomie claims that he blacked out, and asked me how he was last night. I told him he was crazy, and almost started a fight. That next night, I notice the DVDs missing. So I text all my friends ask them if they saw or borrowed the DVDs, just to cover my bases because I know they would never take anything from me without asking. I ask my long time trusted roomate if she borrowed them, which says no, and she says she hasn't seen them. My friend who stayed over says he did see them on the TV stand that night, but didn't see them the next day. I called him to confirm, and he says he certainly remembered seeing them the night of the drunken escapade, but doesn't remember exactly if they were on the shelf or somewhere else. I search the room a fourth time and turn up nothing.
Now the night I noticed they were missing my new 'so broke he can't pay rent' roomate was out drinking again, and he texted me to come out. I said no, and asked him if he had borrowed my DVDs. He said he didn't and said he was coming home from the bar since I wasn't going out. Not five minutes later he said he changed his mind and was staying out. I don't when he got home, or if he even went to work today.
Things just all seem to point towards my new roomate taking the DVDs He has a shady background, shady behavior, and suspect alcoholism. I don't want to point the finger and find out they were under a pile of clothes somewhere, and end up kicking him out and not getting my money, but at the same time if he did do it I don't want to risk anymore stuff going out the door with him. I think I should wait till the end of the month and if he turns over a good check promptly and on time as promised, he is solid. If he doesn't I'm pretty sure I can assume he took the DVDs, and I'll throw him out, using his head to open the door.
