If you don't tell her and be direct about it because you're afraid she'll get mad, you're being a sissy. You need to stand up for yourself. Sure, she is bound to be unreasonable, in which case you deal with it head on, put a lock on your door or transfer into a different apartment unit. Tell her that you know she took your stuff without asking, you're upset and you want it back. Then put your ADPi things in your room.

I have to completely agree with adpiucf here. You need to be direct because what she is doing isn't cool. In all technicalities she is stealing your stuff. You said "borrowing", which implies asking, which she didn't. Call her on it.

You can definately talk to her about the issues in a direct but non-threatening way (I say non-threatening because some people considering confrontations of any kind to be threatening).

As for your ADPi stuff, I'd lock it up. Obviously, I don't know the girl, but she is deliberately going into your room and taking your clothes. Just because you get them back doesn't mean she might not take them again. I know it's sad that you would have to do it, but their your letters.
