Need some advice... or at least some opinions.  

There is nothing lower than stealing from family. I personally would disassociate myself from her. I am sorry but that is just so low to steal. I truly do not know what I would do in your shoes, but I am sure I would be incensed over the stealing part. Best of luck.

everything could be settled by talking. try to talked to her in a nice way. if she didnt tell the truth atleast she knew that you already have an eye for her. maybe she just did that for a reason and hope it will never happened again. try to tell her that it is better to ask help rather than getting things which is not her own. i know she could understand. and for your grandson, she is not going to take him away from you just try to show to her that there is a willing hand for her.

I would cut this person off without a backward look. She steals and she lies. If it was just one incident, you might talk to her and maybe work it out, but this seems to be the way she functions. She's a user, and anybody that stays in a relationship with her will get used. As for your godson, I know that's hard, but he's so young you haven't had a chance to develop a strong relationship with him. He's also young enough that he's not going to miss you for very long. At least he's not your own blood. Let them both go before something else happens, and before it becomes even harder to make the decision.

A sad hard situation. If you cut her out of your life you will indeed not see that child again.
So you have to decide how much you will put up with for that little one's sake. Trusting her with money is, of course, out of the question, but can't you still see her, be friends on a less trusting level? Do you have any idea what is pushing your friend so hard? Is she using drug?? Does she have help with her child? You have the chance to be of life changing influence here, if, and only if, you can do it without risking your own self. I am not talking about just hurt feeling or something, nor am I saying to join her in drugs or whatever. But to remain a friend she can come and talk to, perhaps give her a meal occ. and to take care of her child every once in awhile for a few hours. Best of luck to you.

The question is, would you allow a bigger money be lost in your house? Of course, you do not want that to happen right?..Then, do not tolerate her and any thing to be gone again. Well, talking to her is good, however, based on your story, she's an expert and had no conscience. Know why? The mere fact that the money stolen was for some thing, yet she stole it. The fact also that money is not that easy to earn for, yet she got it.

Think my friend??? What is more important to you? Saving your remained trust to her by disassociate her and not tolerating her doings and her future stealing? Or sacrificing not to see your godson?

If I have to choose? I would rather sacrifice not seeing my grandson than tolerating my friend's acts. There will always be a way of seeing your grandson eventually. If he'll grow up and mature, he would understand your decision. Besides, you won't permanently disassociate your friend, but at least put or place a distance and save yourselves from her future "stealing acts".

Hope you comprehend what I wanted to imply. Good Luck!!!

HI, From yr note it is understood that you know yr fried for quite sometime now. Do you have any similar experience before? Is this the first time you loose money?
You cannot say that she had taken the money since you are not sure? However please be careful with her in future. Not only her any friend for that matter . Do not believe anybody blindly.

There is nothing wrong in continuing yr friendship with her since you love her son godson too much. But be careful .

Hi catgirl,

I know it is hard in your part but you have to do it or else you will continue to lose any valuable things since you are in the same place, if no one can confront her about this then, I guess it is better to just stay away from this lady!

Actually, it happened to me and my friend before and as what I have said, after talking to her and she denied it where infact, it was very obvious that she was the one stealing our money, we started to just stop our contact with her!

The only person you "know" didn't steal the money is you. Really that is what you know.

In fact you don't "know" that the money existed.

Everything is supposition.

That the money existed.
That she stole it.
That she stole the article you believe went missing.

Of course you could build a case on suppositions but is it a good case? Is it worthy?

So here are some questions for you.

Was there anyone else in the house during that time?
Anyone in and out, maybe helping her move?
Has she ever stolen from you or anyone else in the past?
Why would she steal from you now? Is there something going on with her?

Yes you could severe your friendship based upon supposition. You are right that this will mean that you will also be severing your relationship with your godson. Is it worth it?

Stealing from family or close friends is very low. If I knew someone I cared for had stolen from me I would first try to find out why, first try to determine if there was something that they needed so badly that they felt they had to steal. Were they in trouble, did they have a drug problem, was there something else going on that would cause them to act in this manner? I would not want to simply turn my back if they needed my help. But if it turns out that that friend was simply a thief, than yes I would severe the relationship.

I know you had close tides with this woman, but you can't let friendship make you stay friends with her, she sole from you, and that is the lowest of low, I would be ashamed of myself if I had done that to anybody, some people will do things to hurt you and lie their way out of it, I know her son is your god child, but you have to cut this woman loss, if she come over you house again, no telling what she may steal next.
