Theft - Wwyd?

I’ve noticed a few things go walk abouts in my house, the first few things I put down to me maybe misplacing as I never thought anyone would steal.

£200 gone missing and I thought everyone I’ve had in my house I thought I trusted. I have no children/teens, just a partner, a family member who lives with us, one person who comes over apart of our bubble and there’s been another family friend popping in (when i’m around).

My partner has helped me look for it, and the other three I thought would have asked if they needed to borrow cash (but wouldn’t have needed to and they’ve never asked).

I’ve definitely not spent it as it’s been put up for me to put into the bank for bills/petrol.

I feel sick, I’ve searched and searched knowing that it wouldn’t have been put anywhere else. I could put up a camera and a trap but this money has been in a cupboard for quite a while and could have gone for a walk over any period of time.

I’m not sure what I’m really asking as if I was to ask anyone I feel I would be accusing them. I know the potential thief wouldn’t do it in front of the others.

I guess I won’t know who’s took it but it’s one of the four, and if I dismiss one person I thought may have took it (I’m getting paranoid that it could have been anyone of them) and it was the wrong one it would be crushing to them. However I don’t want a thief in my house - I’m more worried about having someone I trusted in my house than the actual money that has gone.

To be honest I don’t think setting up a trap with a camera would work, as if they’re aware you have noticed the money is missing they won’t chance it

You credit thieves with far too much intelligence
