one of my family members is known to take things, as a teenager, 7-16 yrs. she would take items of clothing. 17 to 19 yrs. she was stealing money & food from her convenience store job. now she's 21 and moved out & has been moved out for these reasons since 18 yrs. old She is now back in our lives & things have been disappearing , music cd's , a cookbook that was very important to me (given to me by her grandmother)& a baseball jersey ( given to me by her grandfather ) that also meant alot to me . i am her stepmother. I just don't know how to handle this. I confronted her 1 time about the jersey & her father confronted her 1 time and she is mad at us because she claims she's tired of hearing about this jersey. I can't help but feel suspicious. I jsut asked her if she had seen it (as she was one of three other people in our house at the time it went missing) I am trying to understand however it is difficult. My questions are what are the symptoms/signs for me to look for besides the fact that things are missing.
