But seriously, why didn't you just call a general flat "meeting" and say "someone's nicking my chocolate and it's not on."? I thought people living together could kind of, you know, be honest with each other? Like you said, he took it rather well, I don't see the need to set up a bleedin' camera on him.
However... PWNED.

Maybe i need to re-iterate this point for the Gusses out there
The guy would
not have owned up without having
cold hard proof shoved in his face. i now know this for a
fact. So all that would have resulted from a flat meeting would have been everyone pleading ignorance and the thievery stopping... maybe. I dont know about you, but i can't live with that level of paranoia and uncertainty.
from me saying "Are you sure there isn't something you want to tell me?", it took 5 solid minutes of him being evasive and playing dumb "aaah i dont know what you mean man, help me out here", and he only owned up once i told him the cam was connected to The Internet. I haven't even shown him the footage. I have footage of him coming back in later that night and tracing the cam cable and discovering the pc under the bed, so he knew damn well what was going on :/
And it's not about the money. This guy was invading my
private space. I put the candy in my wardrobe for a reason. Pantry i can kind of understand, but when he began raiding my
bedroom he crossed a line. Everyone who has ever flatted or been flatting implicitly understand this.
