Holding My Honey Hostage

I just finished a standoff with my landlord. I have explained my homebrewing activities in the basement so many times I can't even guess. But I don't think that they are very smart, since they keep asking me annoying and pointless questions, like 'what is my goal in brewing,' which still blows my mind. But this encounter started when I noticed that a small jar of speciality honey was missing from the basement. I sent out an email to the tenants asking if anyone has seen it. A couple days later the landlord sent my roommate an email requesting to talk to the 'guy who's brewing beer in the basement.' I ignored the request for a couple of days, hoping that she would just leave me alone. But after three more emails, I sent a very straight forward message stating that I was tired of explaining myself and told her that if she had my honey I'd like it back. She responded by saying that she 'possibly' had it and since she's been landlording she's never encountered anything like this and after reviewing my lease, she had nothing else to add to the conversation. Her ignorance already gave me a good indication of that. Today, her husband returned the honey to me and gave me a confusing warning that if I leave my stuff out that people will take it and that includes him. That's when I learned that my landlord may likely steal from me.
