How much money do rental car companies authorize on your credit card as a security deposit?
I'm considering taking a vacation at some point however I don't have a credit card. I do have an ATM & Check card tied to my checking account. When rental car companies authorize your card so you can rent a car, how much do they authorize? And I assume these funds would get tied up so I couldn't use them for anything else until after I returned the car in good condition?

Poison the chocolate. If your roommate dies, then you know he's a liar...
Ok, seriously - I'm fortunate that my roommate and I get along well and we don't steal or use each other's stuff (including food) without permission. But I agree that you just shouldn't put out the chocolate. Hide it in your room or something.
