So, I’ve lived in the same apartment for a year now with my best friend from high school. Over the past year we've been noticing that some of our food was gone and got mad at each other over it thinking the other one ate it. But this isn't the case.
Tonight, I went to grab a bag of popcorn to make. I bought three boxes of Orville Redenbacher’s a few months back and only opened one box. When I reached down to grab it, I noticed it was empty and even had an empty wrapper in it. I thought to myself, "what the hell". So i grab for the next box, and again, this one was empty. Needless to say, the last one was empty too. Whoever took the popcorn opened the boxes and put the opened end on the bottom.
Now, I’m thoroughly convinced it is the maintenance people seeing as how they are in the next door over in the hallway and they have a key to our apartment. I'm not sure what to do, but I’m thinking about using a camera to catch someone before I bring it up to the main people.
I have the Xbox live vision camera I can connect to my laptop. Are there any programs that will start recording video when it detects motion? Because that seems to be the only solution. Nothing else has been stolen except for food over the past year, which makes me even more certain it's a maintenance guy just coming over for a snack.

Roomate's girlfriend comes alone, somehow has key

Roomate's girlfriend keeps unplugging my computer instead shutting it because i yelled at her for doing that awhile ago. It's pissing me off, so i'm posting more of her.
