My brother ate the leftovers I'd saved. Who's wrong?
The complainant says
I'm staying at my parents' house for a few weeks between flats. My brother lives there too. On Sunday mum made a roast and I saved a plate for my Monday lunch: beef, roast potatoes, the lot. I wrapped it in foil, put it on the top shelf and wrote 'saved for Monday, do not eat' on a sticky note on the foil.
On Monday morning the plate was in the sink. My brother had come home late after the pub and eaten the whole thing. He says the sticky note had fallen off, but I found it stuck to the fridge door.
The other side says the brother, as the complainant tells it
He says he genuinely didn't see a note, he was hungry, and food in mum's fridge is fair game for anyone in the house. He's offered to buy me a meal deal as compensation.

Deliver your verdict to join the deliberation. Back to the case.
Comment on the dispute, not the people. No names, guesses about who anyone is, or abuse. Jury room rules.
A meal deal for a roast dinner plate is an insult to your mum.
The note was found stuck to the fridge door. It didn't fall off, it was relocated.
Evidence tampering at the family fridge.
The jury will disregard the meal deal.
Coming home from the pub and eating a wrapped plate is how every brother on earth operates, sorry.
Make him cook the next roast. Full roast. With gravy made from scratch.
Foil plus top shelf plus a note. You did everything short of a padlock.
