Well, I recently discovered that my binder containing all my rares and holographics from Magic the Gathering (over 200). I left it in my room, hidden under my bed (I share a dorm room that's two bed one bath and one living room). I usually keep my room unlocked and only lock the outside door. However, I discovered that my cards were missing and he is the only one that would have access to my room besides the University Faculty (which only go in to say, spray the room when the kid down the hall doesn't take his rotting trash out for a month). So, I wrecked all of my room and living room and cried for solid two hours alone,then spent seven hours sorting through everywhere and I can't find it. My dorm mate is the greatest suspect and he has reason to be. His reason: He was upset when I took a magic the gathering card collection out of the trash can when the Islamic kid didn't want me to (I'm sorry, there was over a hundred dollars in cards in that trash); I know it may seem insensitive, but I did it at six in the morning and they emptied it at seven, so the Islamic kid never knew. I'm sorry, but I don't believe his god will make him burn in hell for letting me take the cards out of the trash (its haraam for him, but not for me, and that the old rules of MTG did permit gambling, but they do not anymore). I don't believe my god (I'm Christian-nondenominational) is going to make people burn in hell unless they actively commit evil. I know many, many evil Christians and I have had atheistic friends whose morals were far superior to those of most Christians. But, I've digressed enough. My dorm mate and I have argued frequently (really just him telling me he's right) and tensions have been pretty high lately, and I believe that me taking the cards was the last straw, so he took mine. Here's the thing though: I might be able to annoy him enough by keeping the living room a mess, as he is a neat freak. I regard my cards very highly, as they would be one of my "special subjects." What do you think I should do?

btw I do belong in the adolescent forum as I am only 17.

Kill him and bury him in the soccer field!

Nah just kidding (or not), but you should confront him about it and keep harassing him until he tells the truth, or until 10 days have passed.

Why not make a list of everything that is missing give him a copy and tell him that If they are not back by tomorrow you will be reporting the incident to campus police, or the dorm adviser, or college authorities whichever is scarier. He is a thief.

EDIT
Ugh just noticed the date, my advice was probably a bit late. :/

How did it work out?
