AIBU to start an official inquiry into a missing biscuit

[Mañanarama]

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

Current cat sitch, I’m sure you’ll agree he’s the epitome of innocence and loveliness:

OP, I think your cat is what's known in spy situations as a"sleeper". 🌹

Oh, a Mau-cat with an M on it’s forehead. Beautiful. I’ve got a 16-year old M-cat, they are lovely..

This has given us a chuckle. When we buy treats (crisps, biscuits,chocolate) I think "I fancy that" and put it in the cupboard and eat it in the next few days. My husband not so much, if he runs out of his treats, mine disappear!

@MañanaramasCat don't make me cry, we have a biscuit mystery to solve.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cats are traitors! I was the cat’s favourite until the dog came along!

I don’t think you do know, if you did you’d have spilled the toe beans for Dreamies by now.

I think your husband's refusal to take Operation Biscuit seriously is indicative of his guilt. Have you taken their fingerprints?

@mooncloud1 sorry if I have misposted, I'm new here and it was meant in response to another comment. Love ❤️ and hugs from another cat lady.

ACTIVATE BISCATS

Not at all! Thank you, they sure know how to break our hearts ♥️

I lost this thread but was able to find it by doing an advanced search on verisimilitude. There was only the one result.
Although they'll be two now......

My pleasure 🤣

I think you’re framing all of them. The perfect crime

I think in this situation you need to take the Lindt Reindeer / Bunnies / Dreamies hostage for bargaining power. Send them all a pic on the family Whatsapp of what you have taken. They will be released when the culprit coughs! This assumes the cat has a mobile as well though... could be a snagging point.

You know it's threads like this I used to come to MN for... I've not seen one in AGES! Thanks OP!

Hope you’re joking about biting into their chocolate and putting it back 🤢

They are just biscuits, I would have happily shared them without a second thought.

Ime of dd's and ds's - ds's fess up really quickly.. Dd deny to the bitter end... Up your game with the reindeer op. Dip in chilli powder and replace....

I agree with this. Knew you'd likely blame the kids cat and not him!

Your husband took it for the OW.
LTB

It's a total lighthearted thread 🙈.
And actually one of the funniest things I've read on here for ages.

😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

Well yes, obviously… but that’s what he WANTS you to think…

This is not the place for you.

Laughing in the face of danger @Mañanarama? Just like Nala used to do..

Have you strayed into MN by mistake? 😉
