Does your roommate or need a theft class? Does he or she steal? If they steal, even once, it needs to be addressed. If they steal more than once, the problem is probably quite serious.
There are many signs when someone has a problem with theft. The most obvious and annoying sign is when your things go missing and you find them in your roommate's room. Sometimes this will start out with her "borrowing" a pair of earrings or clothes and not returning them until you ask. If this happens more than once, be on the alert, there may be a problem.
As a counselor for both in-class and online theft classes I speak to both victims and thieves all the time.
Other signs that your roommate has a theft problem include: no longer worrying about money, wearing new, expensive clothes or jewelry they can't really afford, and being careless with stuff in general like borrowing things without asking and being entitled and self important.
Theft and shoplifting are serious problems and can really ruin someone's life. If you or someone you care about has a theft or shoplifting problem, please seek help. There are numerous social support organizations and in person and online theft classes.
