I would DEFINATELY confront them!! BUT FIRST I would talk to all who live in my house and make sure they didnt grab whatever was missing or moved it misplaced it etc...But once that was cleared up I'd confront them without a doubt...Mind you thats one of the reasons I would NEVER have someone clean my house...This is my safe zone, my sacred space so having some stranger come in and clean, touch my things etc etc wouldnt be a good thing for me..

You are right about that! But before she blame someone, she should, chek all the traps first.

If the item was sentimental or valuable, (like my grandmother's ring, etc..)I would call the police. And I would confront them with the police there.
If it was a small non-valuable item and I was not attached, I woulsd still be angry, but I would not confront them and would just fire them, telling them I suspected it..and would go back to cleaning the house my self? But then, if I heard of anyone else wanting to hire this person, I would let them know I suspected her/him of stealing from my home. I would never have a thief in my home. I think there's nothing nastier than a thief!

Well are you sure about this, you definaly need spoof think about who was in your house at the time? That has happen to me, I had some body wash missing from my house my grand-children came over and they have never took anything form my house, but they had a friend over and she was the one that took it, the kids told me she did it, she left evidence.

i would have to make sure that i confront the correct person and i have to be sure that it was lost to the housemate who cleaned and not elsewhere.
of course when you confront someone, its like you are pointing to them that they actually did stole something from you.
but if i have proof, however, whatever that can be, i will definetly ask the person / confront him/her about the stolen valuables.

Hey Rose, that one is kinda hard to answer. It's like having anyone provide a service in your home. See, as you know, when I was little I used to babysit for people in the neighborhood. At one point my brother actually broke into two of the houses I sat for and stole things. Of course, I was accused. The things were finally discovered in my brothers room but the damage was already done. Is this someone you met and hired or someone from an agency. Can you check with other people they have worked for and see if there have been any problems without point blank suggesting they stole from you? Whom else has been in the house? Can you set something up to catch the culprit. I don't have a set answer for ya. I wish I did. See, I was hurt in several ways by what my brother did. You know he ended up where he belongs. But it breaks my heart none the less. A suspect is just that, till there is proof.

You would have to have proof that they did do it or the police would not even listen to you.. Or, I don't think that they would.. You have to have proof of everything anymore.. If would not be fair if the person were blamed and you had just misplaced the item.. If I thought this was going on, I believe I would get one of the "Nanny cams" and that way you would have proof that should hold up in the court of law.. Hope this is just a thoughtful discussion and not a real problem that you are having.. If it is a problem you are having, good luck with it.. Have a great day, Donna

Personally for me, it would really depend on the situation. It would depend on who the person is, what they have stolen, and how well you know the person who has done it as well. I would think overall no matter how much you want to Trust someone, things like this do happen all of the time. But personally unless it is something minor, I would be wanting to find a way to prove that they have done what they have done, and then confront them about it and let them know I do not appreciate that, and then let them go. If they are working for an agency, I would also report them there too to maybe prevent some of this happening to someone else as well.

If you know for sure that you didn't miss place it and no one else in the house took it. That person was the only one around when it came up missing after you put it, uh whereevere you put it. Then tell the person the thing is missing and that you suspect them of taking it since they were the only one that could have. Let them know there will be not reprocussions if they return the thing and it never happens again.
If this is how you feel. I'd say something like did you knock it ff someplace it you think that's may have been what happened. Don't put them on the defensive as you won't get a correct answer then.

I would seek proof first before confronting them. If I couldn't get the proof I may still question them along with the rest of my family who live in the home.

i would suspend them by thier ankle from my chandelier with piano wire until they admitted thier guilt.
I would then execute them by lowering thier head into a bowl of piranahs.
perhaps our governments should look into this as a possible alternative method of interrogating terrorism suspects.
I am sure the international red cross would approve it.

You should first get all your family together and ask if they took the missing object then if they do not know anything about the object you must confront your cleaner. If she or he admits to it call the police at once and ask the person to return the item. then you fire them. okay?

i just don't let anyone to clean our house if i don't trust them..only those people who can be trusted..if i feel something bad or guilty about myself i will just leave it in my mind..like what had happen before..i left the doors open and we have just recruited a maid..it's her first time..she ask permission to get out from the house and that is also the time when our videocamera is been misplacing..the maid only stays half day in our house and never come back again..i don't really know if she get's it...but i feel really guilty when the time i am suspecting her.
