S lost his keys in September–keys to his room, the cable locking his laptop down, and a little metal box where he kept his meds. The keys had been gone almost a week before he called to ask me to bring down the spare key for the med box (tells me how faithful he’s been about taking his meds…). He hadn’t even reported it to the RA or security yet!

He eventually got the lock changed, but now the roommate’s key is missing. S recently found the original set of keys. IN HIS BACKPACK. The front pouch where he always kept his keys and cell phone has a number of little pouches inside it, and the keys were inside one of them. Why he didn’t look in there before, I don’t know. Of course, the room key is useless because the lock has been changed.

The guys are both perfectly happy leaving the door unlocked. “We trust everyone.” At least S’s laptop is locked down (roommate’s isn’t), but I think they’re both idiots.
