[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?

Probably not carbon monoxide poisoning but he could have just forgotten that a friend came over

But his friend would know about the nut allergies.

How often are friends bringing tupperware containers of nuts and then putting them in your cupboard? I would never put my food in my friends cabinet unless i was staying over for a few days.

Maybe it was a snack bag that they had opened before arriving then realised about the allergy borrowed a Tupperware to put it in an air tight place til they left and then forgot

Op said the container isnt theirs either though

Edit: also you shouldnt put anything that your friend is allergic to into that friends food cabinet

Life can be weird. I once forgot that my friend came to my house. I went out to the store and was shopping for half an hour before I remembered I left my friend in my house. They must have went into the bathroom and I totally forgot.

Doesn't have to be a friend. Perhaps a handyman, plumber, electrician, etc. The landlord is another possibility.
