Friend stole from my house

Friend, her DH and DC came to stay recently for a few days. They have stayed several times before - this was not the first visit.

The day after they left I noticed several items of make up missing from my dresser so messaged friend to ask if she accidentally packed it, turns out her DH packed it thinking it was friend's. Friend promised to post it back, but it hasn't arrived and telling me not to blame her for the postman not doing his job. Then a few weeks later I see my missing make up in her room when staying at theirs. Not bold enough to actually go in the room and take the make up.

Have also since noticed several small ornaments and glasses are missing, but I have no proof they took them...

Pretty sad about this. We give this friend and her DC free weekend accommodation several times a year, and this is how it turns out..

Merry fucking Christmas.

It's not your fault that she stole from you. People who are honest assume others are too. This was particularly blatant. Who knows what she had her eye on for the proposed visit. I would have nothing further to do with her or her family ever again. I would just block her on everything. Once a thief, always a thief and it is particularly low to steal from somebody who was doing her a favour.

Obviously not the OP's fault but if she ever let's that person back into her house, she can't complain if it happens again.

Also, OP, you will unfortunately have to warn any mutual friends

Definitely sack her off. It's not likely she has the same makeup/toiletries as you do, OP and was a 'mistake'.

The text I would send is -

Do not ever contact me again you ugly, thieving cunt.

Love that! 😂

How could it not have occurred to her to hide stolen items knowing you were visiting? Hmm very odd she is clearly has an addiction.

Next time you are there take it back. If she questions it tell her the postie delivered it after all. See what she says.

This!! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 totally what I would say. Then let that be the last message she gets from you!
if you let her step foot in your house after this then you’re asking for it OP
