Hmm, possibilities I see.

1. A family member has enlisted a stooge with key and alarm details to perform an odd prank.

2. Fred is sleep walking due to unease at being alone, this seems to jar with work and pub occorences.

3. Fred had some sort of split personality issue, not as un common as you'd belive, especialy in creative people, and not as dramatic as on tell.y.

Personaly though, I belive Fred was just taking the piss, for the reasons that follow:
A. You'd not keep the bacon if that happened.
B. If an alarm was set, assumin theres a sensor in the kitchen, the fridge opening too get the bacon out would set it off.
C. If it were a ghost, the ghost would have to know how a fridge works, what modern bacon is packaged like, yet not have a clue how too cook it. seroously, what's caspers motivation? Bacon is moved, what's the game plan spooky?

Your logic is flawless, all good points
except about Fred being mentally ill. I've known him for over 20 years and I'm pretty sure he's not.

I suspect a wind up, too, if I'm honest, but I do like this story.
