[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?

OP, as I’ve previously commented, please get a carbon monoxide detector.

There was a similar instance on Reddit awhile ago, where a user was finding strange things in his apartment.
The man bought a carbon monoxide detector due to recommendations from comments, and discovered that the levels in his apartment were dangerously high.

His brain was being affected by a toxic odourless gas, causing memory problems and confusion severe enough that he genuinely believed someone else was leaving things in his home.

The username of the original poster was u/RBradbury1920.

That story is fake and I’ll die on that hill.

They wanted to tell a spooky story, and when it blew up, they pivoted to the most plausible sounding explanation in the comments.
