Laundry theft!
Damn, there's a thief living in Graduate House. Last week, I bought a new polo shirt, a cheap one from Baleno ($39 HKD). I didn't want it to shrink, so I hung it up on the clotheslines on the roof rather than put it in the dryer. Okay, I guess I forgot to retrieve it until today, Saturday, which seems to have become my regular laundry day. Sigh.. I've looked all over and still can't find it!
I know, I know.. EVERYBODY in Hong Kong owns something from Giordano, Bossini, G2000, U2, Baleno, Crocodile, etc. However, very very few people here wear XL or XXL. I guess I should suspect the fat guys who live here, or girls who have fat boyfriends. Then again, XL in Hong Kong is usually like a medium or large in North America.
I don't know what's worse: losing a shirt to which I have an emotional attachment, or losing a shirt I had yet to wear. Because I never wore this shirt, I didn't get a penny of value out of it. By contrast, if I lost a $10 shirt I've worn 50 times, then at least I got great value for money. On the other hand, I remember which shirts I've worn on which occasions, which shirts have followed me to different countries and continents, and which ones make me looked damned good.
Sigh.. I hope your new owner loses his/her shirt, and in more ways than one...

lol, man kinda funny... do they sell clotheshangers with locks?lt
Are you sure it's theft? Maybe your dorm has a policy of clearing "forgotten" clothes every night or something. I mean, if everyone was forgetful as you, there would probably never be any room to hang your clothes.
Try checking with the dorm administration or lost & found.
Just so you know, I'd never steal your clothes Ken.
I'd feel big in your underwear anyways... at least the front part.
Hahahahaha

What about taking an old shirt, rubbing it full of poison-ivy, and hanging it on the roof.
May be you have a secret admirer instead of a thief in the building....
Hmm.. will look into those locks, Don. Vince, there's plenty of room to hang stuff up out there. TMT, thanks for not stealing my undies. I can only find them in Canada! Anonymous, who are you? Nancy, if I had a secret admirer, I think he or she would steal clothes I've actually worn, haha.
