It was something like a postcard, photograph etc ... something small and personal that was given to me.

Is it a Furby?

Under most circumstances, that would be a very bad thing to do, and under some it would be stealing.. Even if the item shouldn't have been on your desk, or was in the way of something, she should have had the courtesy to ask you first. However, there are circumstances where it could be more excusable. If it was used tissues for example, or some other potentially unhygienic object, it might be understandable especially at the moment. Or if it was an unkind cartoon of your boss, and she was afraid of getting the blame.
