...belongings - whilst you are out?
How can you KNOW that they have been in your space?
And if you want to, let that person know that they have been caught out?
Thanks

since you're in R&S most of the time, i thought i'd post this link:

i'd never read this until recently, and i thought it was interesting. i don't know how practical pouring ashes all over your floor would be, but this story immediately came to mind when i read your question.
peace,

A funny thing a friend told me about was at a party she openned a medicine cabinet and a bunch of marbles spilled everywhere making a lot of noise. She was mortified!! There was no easy way to get them all back in the cabinet, but she was already busted by the noise.
Another nifty trick is using clear scotch tape along door jams. Close the door and place the tape out of someone's line of sight. They won't be looking for it anyway. When you return look at the tape and see if the seal has been broken. If the tape is seperated then you know they have been there.
I am sure they trick could be altered to work in several different ways (works on drawers). I have also heard of people using a hair placed along a jewelry box or other box... people don't notice the hair or they disregard it as insignificant, but you know it has moved.
To let them know you know... put a note: Nosey, I know you are snooping.
You could also go with a nanny cam... strategically placed in a teddy bear or radio.

Hidden cam is the best way to go but unless you are a PI or FBI the chances of having one on all day/night while you out is most unlikely.
So you could try the old tricks seen on the movies cant think which one it was right now. Take a strand of your hair or cotton if you have short hair and tape it to an inconspicuous place of the door or drawers that you do not want someone getting into, if it has broken or pulled out the tape then you know someone was in there. Then once you know try and catch them red handed, perhaps literally if you can. Also if you know those snake in a can jokes you get, do a DIY job attaching it to your cupboard door or bedroom door so when they go in, Boom snakes everywhere. Hee hee that would be a laugh.... good luck anyway.

When I was a child we would put a bucket of water over the
door so when the door was opened, the water would pour on
the person. Use a large bucket with plenty of ice cold water.
Secure the bucket so it does not fall. Only the water. You may
need a carpenter to set this up right. But when it works right
it does the job. If the person continues to violate your space then its time to go on line and get a teeny tiny security camera that no one would ever see. The store where you buy that kind of stuff would be able to further advise you. A little expensive, but great evidence in court.

Lay your clothes all over the floor like you just went into your closet and was cleaning out or something. Make a few piles and stuff. Then, get a bear trap, ya know, the ones with the metal teeth and put it under some clothes right near the door or wherever in the room you think this person is particularly going. Next time you see the person, ask them if you can see their ankle. Then you'll know and they'll know that you know. But, then they'll probably kick the living crap out of you : ) Sorry, it was funny when I thought of it.

When you leave your room - close the door and put a small piece of scotch-tape across the door to the door-jam - close to the floor or in a not-so-noticeable place. If someone opens your door you'll know because the tape will be broken or noticeably disturbed. This trick also works on drawers. Also you can hide a video camera or a recording device somewhere in your room and record anyone that may enter. Finally, you can put makeup or baby powder on the handles of your door(s) and drawers - after you have closed everything - then you will be able to see hand or finger prints in the powder and know someone was there.

I have had this problem and I did some of the same ideas on here. The piece of scotch tape on the very bottom of the door jam works great! I also left notes in my drawer to make them feel dumb! They said stuff like... "did you find what you were looking for?, get out, nosey!, etc. be creative.

it seems that all these answers are good ones for you my Lady, but remember before you let that person know that they have been caught, ask yourself this, are there children in the house?

Take a thin 0.5mm pencil lead and put it in the door crack, right above the hinge. The next time you go in the room, look at the lead. If it was cracked, somebody opened the door before you got there.

Put a small piece of paper in the door hinge. Or put a small amount of baby powder on the floor.
