How can you tell if someone was in your apartment?

How can I tell if someone has been in my room?
You can try something simple like putting a down feather on top of your closed door. If its still on top when you open the door, nobody has entered. Or maybe put a little strip of clear tape at the bottom of your door. If it’s altered when you arrive, the door has been opened.
How do you rig a door to see if someone has entered?
get a small piece of paper and tape it to your door or door frame, in such a way that you can put it in a position, and when the door is opened and closed again it goes to a different position. Put something behind the door in a marked place, then when it moves you’ll know someone has been in.
How can you tell if a door has been opened?
Lay a small piece of thread, or dental floss in the crack between the door and the jamb, or even across the knob. When you come back, and the thread is no longer where you left it, you’ll know someone used that door.
What do you do if you think someone is in your apartment?

How do you catch a snooping House?

What to do if you think someone is in your attic?
Have the two men enter the attic, search it and determine if anybody has been staying up there. If someone has, then call the police, have them stop by and have them take photos and fill out a report. Ask if you can remove any belongings that were left and, when they leave, call a locksmith and have your locks changed.
How do you know if someone is in your drawers?
The easiest way is to set up small indicator traps. If your concern is about say, your underwear drawer, then leave it slightly ajar using something such as your finger or a pen to set the distance from open to closed. It’s highly unlikely that anyone who opens the drawer will reset it to exactly the same measurement.
How did light know someone was in his room?
Light put a piece of paper in his door as a red herring. The real measures to see if someone entered his room was a piece of pencil lead that he stuck in the upper door hinge, and the way he set the door handle (he lowered it slightly). He also noted that the pencil lead was broken.
Can you tell if a lock has been picked?
As far as if a lock has been picked, they might be able to tell by marks made on the pins or cylinder from turning and trying to force the pins up, but that would take a lab most likely and wouldn’t be something they could just tell.
