If you thought your friend was taking things from your house; what would you do?

If it were me I wouldn't say anything until I got good proof. You need to set that person up by leaving something lying around and make sure when the person is visiting that no one else is visiting at the same time. Then, see if that person will take the bait. If you find it to be true then you need to let them know but you have to be ready to possibly lose that friend. If they won't admit to it then I would keep a distance from them because a real friend would not steal from you.

I dislike confrontation and I would become very uncomfortable every time I had this person over. I would simply start meeting this friend outside the home.

Put a video camera hidden somewhere in the room where you can view the room. Or you can say something like.I remember I put it here and comments on certain item is also misplace or not found nowadays saying that it is of some merories to you etc,or it is always here and it is nowhere to be seen or found?Erm ..I wonder where is it?Looking around for it than say I guess I look for it later.If your friend get the hint.Maybe she put the things back one by one if not I don't think she is your friend.

I would confront her. If she is taking something, guess what? She isn't your friend.

I like stori1's post... a real friend would not steal from you. I think they have a great idea in setting something up to make sure that this person really is. If they are, confront them about it. Tell them that you know what is going on and you don't appreciate being used like that. If they were a real friend they wouldn't steal!

I would tell them, that some of my items came up missing and how upset I was that I could not find them. Give it a certain amount of time, usually a friend will return them. Some people like to borrow eachothers clothes and do not realise others would be upset by this... depends on the item. I would make sure the misplaced item was for surely missing, ask other friends and relatives if they have seen it if no one has, tell them all I was going to report the missing item to the police... and then give it about a week to see if it reappears, then if not report the missing item...

well...id ask first because some people are just careless yah know taking things that they think you aprove of, if i know for sure she took stuff from my house then.. i dont know depends i mean she could be a metally ill or whatever and itd depend on the situation

We couldn't point anyone as a thief unless until we have the evidence for it. I would suggest you to install spy cam, so that he/she clearly captured on the video. Source:-
