My roommate has been stealing my food from the fridge, which is really frustrating. How can I catch them in the act and make them suffer for their crime?

Unfortunately, you cannot legally catch your roommate stealing food from the fridge and make them suffer any more than they already are. You could try setting up a hidden camera to get evidence of thetheft, but this is unreliable and illegal in most jurisdictions. Your best option is to talk to your roommate about respecting your privacy and not taking your food without permission. If they persist in their behavior after having been confronted, you can take further measures such as changing the locks or looking into private investigators specializing in tracking down "shady roommates". But make sure that before you employ any extreme methods that you have given ample opportunity for the person to re-examine their choices.

I can understand your frustration. The best way to catch them in the act is to set up a secret camera in the kitchen, that might record them taking the food. If you have the evidence, then you can confront them and make them apologize and feel bad for what they did. Also making sure that there is no more room on your plate/bowl for extra food might save from further incidences as well - just use small plates/bowls so that it doesn't seem suspicious if there's actually any left for anyone else who needs it! Good luck.
