My 'friends' have stolen my belongings!

[Trumpelina]

Has anyone else hosted a party and then found some of their belongings have disappeared at the end of the night? I'm really pissed. I hosted a party for 20 of our best friends and it went swimmingly. Everyone had a nice time, no one got drunk or lairy. Just a lovely pleasant time had by all. I'm clearing up later on & can't find a few things. It's now several days on & the items are definitely missing. I've emailed the group in case anything was taken home by accident but every single person has come back saying no. For the record I lost two beautiful antique serving spoons that I'll never be able to match, a small vintage plate that was particularly pretty and a small silver rabbit ornament that was on the shelf in the upstairs loo. I'm absolutely gutted to lose my precious things but also that the culprit must be amongst my friends & I've no idea who. There were no children present. Anyone else have shitty 'friends'?

Well it is only 1 person who is your culprit so I wouldnt alienate 19 others over some cutlery and a little toilet rabbit.

I once befriended a girl( she was 35 but I call her girl as obviously immature). I invited her for a meal and let her find her way to her way out as I had to urgently go to the loo. When on the loos, I heard her fumbling in my shoe rack and wondered why since her shoes were at the bottom of the stair(rack was at top) when I went to look the pair of French shoes she admired when I wore them was gone.
Another person(obviously not a friend) I just visited her and boyfriend who had just had a baby at 41 years old?( so, supposedly mature right?) I came with my art Canon camera and its new lense I had just bought. I took a few pics of the baby and her and she exclaimed how good my cam was for pic and demanded to see the lense( she had aathe same canon camera) . I had her baby in my arms and could not move from sofa as her boyfriend was talking to me. She disappeared into her back room for a good 10mn. I then got my cam back and wondered what she had done to it or was it her similar looking cam. Went home and realised the lense now had a different setting that I had given mine and also a scratch on the plastic supporting the lense the pics were of lesser quality now too, and i could not remember my settings( the ones on the stoken exchanged lens). Unfortunately i had not written down the serial number of the lens.. didn't think about that. I confronted her and she completletly denied it. These people had much more income than me and were much more comfortable than I. I'll never understand people who do this and are so popular with a crowd of peeps. You would think she'd be happy enough to have her first baby and not think of stealing from people right??! I hope those people got their karma.in fact I've noticed that it's the people who are the most popular that are the most ruthless and wicked: a mystery i have never uncovered..
the second person( Lens thief) I heard that she discovered her boyfriend had been sleeping with hookers for a long time and broke up with him. Sometimes these ruthless people will reap what they sowed.

She needs to be identified. She will keep on stealing things from everyone's home. Some things can't be replaced like a dead relatives present or medallion etc..

Absolutely! Go to the loo several times and absolutely look in every inch of their house.
You must be gutted and if you find out who it is I would go public and let everyone know that they are a thief!
