is my buddy crazy? if so, what is the name for this type of insanity?

Question: im just trying to figure out what this guy has,so i can look it up. most recent example:he got groceries from his sister last night,he was putting them away and noticed a bag of coffee had some writing on it,a phone number or something..the next day he went to work and he told me he saw that same bag of coffee sitting on the microwave at his work,when he got home he said that bag of coffee was gone.He thinks his wife went to his work and planted it there to trip him out.just to trip him out!!?!?,i know her,she's wouldnt do that,she is sane. He also says he thinks someone is breaking in to his house and going through his things,he says **** like "when i left my house, i put a dvd on my tv,when i came home,there was a different dvd on my tv",or "i have a deck of cards in a drawer,and i remember the jack of clubs was on the top,and the next time i looked,the king of spades was on top" he thinks someone is messing with him. What illness is this? i want to look it up!!!!

Answers:
Sounds like paranoid schizophrenia.

Someone needs to talk to him about getting help before he has a psychotic episode.

Are you sure he isn't on drugs? If he isn't, paranoid schizophrenia.
