AIBU to start an official inquiry into a missing biscuit

Ok. Long and lighthearted (ish) story short. I was given some beautiful hand made biscuits this Christmas. Only five of them, beautifully wrapped, especially for me. Put in my xmas treat bag (we have a bag each) in the living room.

Some fucker has eaten one.

Order of suspicion:

  1. Daughter, because I know she loves them, and she has previous for theft (of treats). But, she’s an appalling liar.
  2. Husband, he likes them but he’s not likely to be stupid enough to eat one because he understands the specialness.
  3. Son. Greedy teenager prone to minor fibs, but he wouldn’t like these and is suspicious about trying new things.
  4. The cat. Has never ever stolen human food. Would not think to clear crumbs up or conceal evidence.

They all flat deny it.
I’m annoyed.
Not because of the biscuit but because of the lie.

AIBU to call the rozzers remove some of their treats until the culprit confesses?

@Mañanarama do the sprouts trick to catch them with their guard down.
Then individually approach them and accuse them saying someone else saw them take it, and await their confessions.

😂 I do this with the 5 year olds at school! Tell them their friend has already told me what happened and they sing like a canary.
