Many people who have lived in student accommodation will have experienced items, usually food, going missing.
Whether it's someone who always keeps digging into your butter in the fridge, or you might notice your cereal is running out faster than you're eating it.
One student was so fed up with his food thief, who has been stealing his takeaway deliveries, he decided to get epic revenge.
Ethan Pham, a student at The University of Texas at Austin, decided to have "a little bit of fun," while also trying to catch the person stealing his food.
Sharing his plan on TikTok account @ethanphamtastic, Ethan explained: "So someone in my dorm has been stealing my food deliveries and I want to find out who it is but I also want to get revenge."
The student's plan was to plant a fake takeaway delivery bag and see if the thief stole it.
Ethan explained: "So my plan is to fill this bag with a fake Chipotle bowl full of vegetables and also a picture that says 'caught you in 4K' and we'll see if they take the bait."
The student got hold of a crisp, new paper bag from Chipotle, complete with a napkin and fork "to make it look more realistic". He then put a load of vegetables in the takeaway container and he also stuck a note on it saying: Eat your veggies!
After sticking the Chipotle sticker on the bag, Ethan left it on the rack in the communal area where delivery drivers leave items.
With over 1.6m people seeing the original video, it's understandable that many were desperate to hear an update.
In a second video, Ethan told his followers that, as expected, the Chipotle bag had been taken within the first few hours of being there.
However, he still didn't know who the thief was, so he decided to have some more fun.
Some people had said his vegetables were "too nice", so this time he decided to fill a Chick-Fil-A bag with rubbish from the bin.
Speaking about his plan to catch the thief, Ethan said: "Honestly right now I'm probably not going to know who's stealing the food. I just want to troll them a little bit so they can stop stealing people's food."
Ethan's followers are still eagerly awaiting any further updates about his plan to catch the food thief.
