Last week there was £20 missing from my purse. DS has taken £1 for the shop from it a few hours earlier. I rang him from the supermarket so daunt was missing and he 'found it' in the floor.
Today, DH has had a pile of cash on a windowsill from an eBay sale for a few weeks. Today he went to bank it and there was £60 short. Once again, DS 'found' £40 although £20 is still missing.
I don't know what to do. He has denied taking it obviously. And I can't prove that he did but it does seem a remarkable coincidence that he seems to find it whenever anyone notices it missing.
I just want to cry. He's 12. I feel such a failure as a parent and am at a complete loss.
If it isn't him, accusing him would be awful. I want to believe him, but I don't want to be blindly stupid about it either.
I also don't want to let my own sadness over the whole thing get in the way of dealing with it.
I feel at a complete loss.

I think DS is stealing from us. What do I do?
