Employee stealing from me!

Hi all, I'm new to this so I'm not aware if I'm doing it right!

Ok so here goes (you may want to grab a cuppa ...or Gin, it's a long one)

I own a wellbeing clinic and took on my husband's step sister 18 months ago, she's fantastic. Customers love her. I love(d) her. I've done everything for her. Trained her to a high standard, employed but when no one else would, (little experience + older = costly) I've even babysat her kids when her partner walked out 6 months ago, albeit for one weekend!

In September I believed I had miss placed my designer Sunnies but I was very certain they were in my reception desk.

Then two months ago I realised a bangle my husband bought me when I lost my daughter last year had been taken, I had done a massage and took it off, placed it in a drawer and forgot for the rest of the day. I was heartbroken, I thought it was a client but couldn't prove it! (No CCTV due to it being an intimate waxing /massage room)

And now, I have realised my leather jacket has been taken from the cloakroom and when I mentioned it she said she had never seen me in a leather jacket! 😤

And these things are just the things I know about!

She's the only staff member to be there the whole duration of the thefts.

Police have logged it all, but are as much use as a chocolate teapot. And have just advised I watch hours of CCTV....but all I have is circumstantial!

I believe the only way to get her it to trap her. Do any of you lovelies have any ideas?
I'm going away next weekend for our anniversary so wondered if I can do it then, maybe mention the CCTV is down so to keep an extra eye out? Wink wink nudge nudge!

I must have proof if I don't this could cause an absolute shit storm in our family!!!

Please help!

I've kept a low profile since, even though there's been a couple of Facebook comments I believe which were directed at me! 😴
Husband's mum has been fantastic, and I received a lovely text from my husband's other sister (blood sister) telling me how sorry she is that we have been through this, and that she thinks I done the right thing reporting it!

Time will tell I suppose!
