So at the music dept. at my school there are practice rooms with pianos in them. You get a key from a lock box, which you open with a special card, and get access to a room. Today I was practicing for a while and then decided to go to another building and check my email (I'm waiting for some important emails... which is irrelevant to the story) so I left my stuff in the practice room, which I locked behind me, and went. I got distracted and ended up being away for half an hour. When I returned, someone used another key and got in the practice room. All of my possessions, my backpack, my jacket, my iPod, my school stuff, were sitting on a chair outside the room in the empty hall with a note on top, which I've included.
It reads: It is unnaceptable (their spelling) for you to reserve a practice room if you are not going to practice. Other students need to use these rooms too. If you leave for 30 minutes, please return your key and take your belongings with you. (Unsigned)
I knocked on the door and apologized to the guy for being away and he mumbled something like "Uh... I need to practice" and shut the door. When I showed the letter to a friend and told him what happened, they said I should report him to someone in the building for taking my stuff from a locked room and leaving it in the hall. There are signs all over the building recently warning that there are a lot of thefts going on right now as well.
Though I'm pretty sure, the way the note is worded, that this student didn't actually write the note. What I suspect is that he went to the main office of the building and complained that I wasn't in the room practicing, and one of the very mean ladies in the office (who don't like me) came, unlocked the door and tossed my stuff out and wrote the note.
So, what do you think? Should I complain to someone? I admit that it was wrong of me to occupy the practice room without using it for that long, but I don't think that justifies someone doing what they did.
