should I be freaked out...something weird in my apartment...

ok so I get home from work and need to feed the cats so I go into the cabinet to get a dish...lower cabinet near the stove....

there is a giant pixie stick (a type of candy which I didn't even know existed, something a kid would eat.) unopened in one of my kitchen cabinets. This thing is two feet long, about 1/4 inch-ish wide, plastic straw...unopened and uneaten....just sitting in my cabinet like I put it there.

after which a photograph of the straw
 
What's weird is I was away last night...and then this...kinda creepy.

if it were one of my cats or a rat, it would have been completely chewed up...but it's in tact. and if my cats did it...where in the hell did they get it? They don't go outside.
 
does someone other than me have access to my apartment?

I called my land lady, who has a daughter and thought maybe they had been in my apartment...which I was hoping they had...no.

In an unrelated matter....So for some reason the land lady was having trouble locating my house keys (she and her husband just moved and she decided to change my locks even though she thinks she just misplaced the keys instead of losing them. but she decided to change the locks today anyway, just because she couldn't find them...I don't think someone got a hold of her keys though. She's just being cautious. And she'd had some other issue with my lock before not having a copy so I think she just wanted to start over.

I do know she changed the locks before I moved in.

But she had decided to change my locks BEFORE I found the mystery candy in my cabinet. But the locks are changed, in a weird twist of fate so I feel a little better... but... frankly, I'm a little freaked out.

Somebody's been in my apartment.

But wtf are they doing leaving candy in my cabinet?????

Nothing valuable I can see is missing and I didn't see any food missing.

Still, my creeped out factor is way high right now.

Now, this campfire's a month old, and it's pretty big, so only a few primitive comments.

There's the usual comments about being "stalked," but they're pretty stupid.

20. Is the daughter a teenager by any chance?

I'm just wondering if it's possible the daughter "borrowed" the keys and spent the evening in your apartment.
When I was a teenager this was a common enough stunt. While I was in high school I went to no less than three small-scale get togethers held in unoccupied houses. Twice one of us had the key to an unoccupied rental property owned by someone's parents. The other time a friend and his family were out of town, and we broke into his house and drank beer. Each time it was just our inner circle of friends who did it, and we were careful not to do any damage, or leave any other evidence that we had been there.
 
Do you imagine something similar could have happened in your case?

21. Do you have an exterminator?

Our bug guy uses straws similar to this in appearance but with some kind of insecticide to kill ants. I always thought they looked like pixie sticks.
 
Just a guess.

56. Sometimes weird, unexplainable things happen. I have had things in my house move...in one case from one room to another...when I hadn't touched them. (Nor had anyone else as I live alone except for two cats but they were not the type of item a cat could manipulate.) But they were things I owned, not things I had never seen before. That would be even freakier.
 
However, the other night an internal door in my room changed positions (cats were not in that area during the time period it happened) and I was afraid somebody had broken in and was hiding in that room so I called the cops for that (thankfully, there was nobody else in my house except me and the cats).
 
But because you rent that would add an extra layer of concern. So I would call the police if that happened to me, unless somebody confessed.

30. Hmm -- now there's a puzzle

You said the landlord's missing set of keys is unrelated, however, possibly it IS related. The teenager may have taken the keys in order to have access to your space -- for what purpose, who knows. Could be anything from the thrill of being where one is not supposed to be, or for some other illicit purpose. I like the idea of some kind of security monitor. And don't tell anyone you've installed one, it would give the snoop a warning and you would never know who it was.
 
From what I've read, it isn't uncommon to have a landlord or someone else with access to the landlord's set of keys go snooping in tenants' apartments. Possibly to steal something, but more likely just being nosey.

59. Honestly, your landlord's lying. She's been in your apartment and her daughter left the pixie stick

The key story is fishy and she has a young child whose the right age for that kind of candy.
 
I'd lay odds she's snooping to see if you are the "right" sort of tenant because if you were trashing the place, after 6 months it would be evident. She's sussing you out to see if she's going to renew in another 6 months.
 
I'm sorry about that. Some landlords do some shitty things. Its illegal but I know it happens. I've talked to others who have owned rental properties and know there are some who want to inspect without notice.
 
When I suspected tenants were trashing a place I usually concocted a story to gain entrance if I could but always while the renters were there (knock knock! "So sorry but someone just said there's smoke coming from the basement window - can I just check to make sure nothing's wrong down there? It may be nothing but I want to make sure!" Even if they didn't let me go into the basement, just standing in the doorway gave me enough of a view to see if there was any trouble afoot -which dammit there almost always was . I hated being a landlord and will never do it again).
 
I don't think you have a poltergeist. I think you have a nosy landlord and an inquisitive child whose lost her pixie stick.

68. update: hey all...

nothing else weird has turned up. thankfully, really.

I'm going to get some kind of solution for my front and back doors, mini cameras.... to get a view of my front door which will also get a pic of my car... and then my back door as well.

but don't quite know what I'll get.

There's a spy store locally, so I thought I'd start there...so I will kind of know what kind of camera and set up I need and can afford.

thanks for thinking of me. i just don't know what to think of it, but glad the locks were changed.

69. I know the feeling.

I found a strange coffee mug in my house one day.

Don't know how it got there.

It was from a company that is in another state.

No one will admit to the mug, so it is a mystery.

Well if it's insecticide, there is only one way to find out.  You primitives are good at sticking everything else under the sun in your mouths, so buttocks up, down the hatch!

It's truly a mystery.

It's like when the hippywife primitive Mrs. Alfred Packer evaporated.

The grasswire primitive and the adroit sparkling old dude told other primitives it was because franksolich did something mean to her, which was nonsense.

The truth seems to be that hippyhubby Wild Bill ate her.

The elephantine DUmmy LynneSin has been MIA for some time.

Poor addled grasswipe has been around, but only with a few comments on other DUmmies' threads.

She's pissed at her failure to crack the Top 5.

Yeah, since about the time nominations for top DUmmies of 2012 started.

If hippyhubby Wild Bill had anything to do with it, I hope he has an institution-sized meat freezer.

I've seen a couple where she's hidden in campfires, but I ain't seen her at all in any of her usual haunts.

I'm wondering if maybe her relatives think she makes herself look silly, and keep her away from the internet most of the time now.

Darn this reminds me of one of those caught on tape programs that showed tapes taken with a hidden camera home renters or owners set up when they began to find things missing from their homes or things that were not theirs in the house.

Spooky program,   some of the tapes showed men breaking in homes of women just to smell their dirty panties, worse were landlords coming in and installing those mini cameras in the bedroom or bathroom.

One program much like Dateline showed one landlord that had a set up in the attic and could have films of all 10 apartments he rented sent to his home.  Just because someone knows when you are sleeping and knows when you are awake does not make them Santa Clause. 

By the way when new subdivisions are put in and handled by ONE contractor who buys in bulk, it has been found that in some cases all the locks to all new homes have the same key.

Goes for those that buy pre fab double wide homes, I got a call from the land owner that because I had changed my locks his staff could not enter my home to check on something.   The land owner owned the land not my home or anything inside.  No one but the police, ambulance or fire department had any reason to be inside my home.

So I trotted out with the old original key and went door to door and out of a dozen my key fit 8 strangers homes.    You change the locks don't let anyone else do it. Don't give your key to ANYONE except your mother----If you trust her.

Don't be like Jackie Kennedy finding strange panties in her bed.
