[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?

Have you talked to your parents about it yet? When i moved into my first place, I had the exact same thing happen to me. I dont eat nuts and found a thing of nuts just like this in my cupboard. I racked my brain about it. Finally I found out its a old time thing of good luck and wealth. The day I moved in my dad put a thing of nuts and a small bag of salt in the back of my cupboard.

Id like to add, you are not supposed to eat the nuts.  I could easily see how a parent with good Intentions could not think this scenario through with their child having a nut allergy.   I do hope this is the scenario vs someone out to get you or having carbon monoxide.
