Gotta disagree here. An authenticator would have prevented this exact thing.

It's on a keychain so it is intended to stay with the person who owns it at all times. Much like keys.

It's also available as an App for the iPhone or iPod touch. I might leave my keys on a counter for a moment or two while I'm around other people. But I pretty much never leave my $200 authenticator (iPod) unattended for any reason ever. Maybe while I speep, but only on account of unconsciousness.

If his roommate is getting into his things while he sleeps- time to talk to the RA- or landlord- or parents- or whoever.
