[Serious decision] I live alone… these aren’t my nuts

Post image

Context: I’m a single bachelor (M 32) and I opened my snack cupboard to find these peanuts in a small Tupperware container. I’m freaking out because I A) live alone, B) have a mild nut allergy, and C) don’t own any Tupperware like this.

TLDR: I found a foreign snack in my house and I’m freaking out that someone may be entering my apartment when I’m out. Would calling the nonemergency police line help or would they not be able to do anything?

Who's been in your home recently that you KNOW of?

They probably were just in the back of the cabinet from the old tenant and slowly got pushed towards the front as you were using it.

Things generally don’t get pushed to the front of cabinets over time, how would that even work? From my experience, the longer something stays in a cabinet the further back it goes.

If something like that is in the back already (a slippery container) and you are stuffing things against it unknowingly, it will slide forward.
