Your mess probably slowed down the burglars somewhat. Or, at least, made them laugh.

Just go with it, OP.

This is what is know as a "wake up call." Clean your apartment once in a while.

They were looking for that pizza from 1998.

Well, at least you won't miss anything they stole from you since you probably forgot you had it in the first place.

Well take it as a wake up call to clean up.

as a college student I really understand how you feel. my dorm is like a pigsty.

Your place literally looks like a crime scene here's your sign to start cleaning.

Lol that happened to my parents before they had me. Their apartment was robbed, and they had to explain that no, it wasn't ransacked, it's normally that messy...

Good news you probably frustrated the hell out of them which made them limit what they took. If you have trouble finding stuff so does the thief.
