    Where can I get a locking door knob cover?
    My room mate keeps going in to my room and taking my stuff. I need some way to prevent this until the university can move me in 3 months. I asked the school if I could just replace my current door knob with a locking one but they said no. this I would need some sort of cover to go over the external door knob that I can lock. Do you know of anything like that?

    They are called door knob bumpers and usually available at stores that sell baby and/or bathroom items, like Bed Bathe and Beyond.

    If he is your roommate, he is allowed access to the room. If he is taking things of value, call the campus police.

    I may have missed part of this. If you have a separate door to your room but a common door to the apartment, I'd change the lock to your room.
