Today, I walked into my office and found my ex-roommate going through my desk. Apparently, despite not wanting to be friends or even speak anymore, he has no qualms about "borrowing" my Master's thesis so he can compare and write his. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my friend told me she'd lost her notebook filled with crucial notes for our finals. She asked if she could borrow mine and copy my notes. She then lost my notebook too. FML
Today, I asked my professor for his opinion on the subject I plan to study in my thesis. Turns out, he likes it so much that he's going to steal it from me. FML
Today, I caught my "best friend" on my laptop, copying my girlfriend's nudes onto his flash drive. FML
Today, after searching frantically for my economics notes for a week, I asked my friend to send me pictures of hers. I recognised my handwriting on the pictures she sent me and she admitted she'd "borrowed" them. The exam is in three days and she refuses to meet me and give my notes back. FML
Today, my roomate took the toilet paper out of my bathroom. I went into his room to look for it, only to find a large wad of it balled up near his laptop and mouse. FML
Today, I came back to my apartment after moving most of my stuff out. Upon returning, I learned that my now ex-roommate drank all of my alcohol and threw away my things, thinking that I had forgotten them. FML
Today, I was taking the final exam for one of my classes. The teacher came over to my desk, grabbed my test and ripped it in half. Then he grabbed my hand and read the note I had written on it to remind myself to pay rent. FML
Today, I finished my 83-page thesis for my Stanford class and put it on my desk. Then, as a prank, my girlfriend hid it. She forgot where she put it. The thesis is due in 3 days. FML
Today, I walked into pawn shop and found a nice laptop which I inspected after I thought I lost mine months ago. Turns out my ex pawned it after having it at her place all this time. FML
Today, my cute co-worker asked if he could use my computer. I told him my password and went to the bathroom. When I came back he said he'd finished. I tried to log in, but my password wouldn't work. I then noticed a Post-it note on the desk saying, "Stop stalking me and I'll change the password back." FML

If you haven't already, you should report him ASAP, so that if he succeeds your university will know he copied you and not the other way around. A record of you having lodged a complaint first would make your story more credible if it came to it.

Report him for plagiarism and do it immediately. Otherwise, you could be the one that comes off looking like a thief, and gets kicked out as a result. And getting booted out of a program due to plagiarism accusations makes it near impossible to get into another school.

You want a time out? You better spit a rhyme out Before the community of real mc's die out College students say to me "you ain't smart" Record label A&Rs say: "this ain't art" These are the contents of the covenant of the art Listen to my chest beat tell me this ain't heart You gotta be as obsequious As the Disciples of Jesus This is my MASTER THESIS

Report him to your professors for plagiarism. Then slam his fingers in the desk drawer.

To be fair, I read and used the theses of 4 former students from my lab to help me with layout and finding sources for my thesis. Given the fact that no master's thesis is on the exact same topic, I highly doubt your ex roommate would be able to copy it (I can't imagine your advisors approving the same topic, especially not in the same program at the same school). The FML here is the fact that someone was going through your shit, which is not acceptable at all.

There's a difference between "former" and "present". Former ones have been used already and are in the system. Present ones won't be until the time for them to be checked comes around. And unless its changed, some students do get the same or similar thesis. If they didn't, then using another's paper wouldn't be a problem but some students have been kicked from universities because someone else used their thesis.
