[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 648421, member: 15801"] I agree with everything MWM says. I think what often gets us confused when they steal is that we don't have "proof" and we so badly want to believe them. But you know in your heart of hears that she has been stealing from you and the boxed items show that. She may go on the attack and accuse you of going through her stuff etc etc. Ignore all of it. if she denies it, blames someone else, or somehow turns the tables on you, just stay calm and say it is apparent to us that things have been missing since you have been here and that we cant trust you. We cant have someone we dont trust living here. I cant tell you how much better it feels not having to hide all valuables and not to think you are kind of nuts because so many things are not where you left them. Yes she needs to leave... so stay strong, be firm and stay calm. [/QUOTE]
