okay i have a boarder who lives with my bf and i..
he's a little pain in the ***. he's 19 and does nothing to help around the house.. its hard enough to get him to clean up after himself... he's always nosing around our stuff.. he's taken some of my shirts out of the closet.. (i don't know where else he got it from its a hard core logo shirt..)
i'm missing some hoodies.. i'm sure he's taken them only i can't prove it.. he's taken some green things from us too... screens.. etc..
if you look at one of my last ?'s it explains about an air riffle.. and an injured rabbit.. i'm sure he had something to do with as all the evidence says so...
what my question is.. should i lay a trap leave some money.. or something of interest that i know he'll take.. just to help prove my point were better off without him and his money
the amount he gives us equals to half of our rent.. but my bf and i both have good jobs and make enough that fincially he's only a plus not a nessecity

Lock your stuff up. Or throw him out.
No trap setting. Just lock it up, or throw him out.

It sounds like a sucky situation. If you don't need the money, then perhaps then get rid of him? Perhaps get a new boarder?
I'd assume not go through any more torment or trouble and end it already. If you don't feel safe in your own home, then why prolong it.
Have you thought about what will happen if/when you catch him? Will he just fess up or will he go postal? I'd just leave it and get out while the getting is good.
Good luck.

Then I say go for it! Plant a little trap to see if he's taking stuff from you. If you don't need him there, then why have him there? But be sure to have a more valid reason of kicking him out than just a hunch....Things can go bad if you just assume, but if you have facts it's a lot smoother. ^_^

Why are you even asking? Don't worry about leaving a trap. Just ask him to leave. You do not need someone like that in your home. And as you said, you don't need him financially. Even if you did, I would suggest you find another flatmate.

I don't think you need to catch him in the act. If he's not protected by a lease, you should be able to just tell him to move along. Just tell him you have decided to stop renting out your house.

You don't need proof, just kick him out if he makes you feel uncomfortable. You want to feel relaxed in the home you live in don't you, and the person that's keeping you from feeling relaxed ,for whatever reason, just has to go.

I would bother doing all that. If you and your bf both agree that he is probably doing these things then throw him out. It isn't worth the time. If your bf trusts him over you, then that is a whole other issue. ~Dawn

Simply ask him to find another place to live. Even if you set a trap and he falls for it, then what? Ask him to leave.

get it on video. and not the green stuff (hello!?) then let him see it. tell him he has 3 days to get you your things that are missing or you call the po po.
make sure you tell his friends that you know what he's doing after you get proof. show your friends the video.

If he's not neccessary thne I'd just kick him out. You don't have to give him a reason just tell him it isn't working out and meet whatever legal obligations you have to according to his lease.
