I have made this thread because of something that's been happening this year and I could do with some opinions and possible advice.
The story as it is:
Back in January I have this glass (porcelain) turtle money box that my grandma got me and obviously it's got money in. I've had this since roughly a year before but u didn't really put a lot into it, around December time I started putting money into it and noticed it had some money in already because my grandma put some into it as a present when she gave it me, though I never looked inside to see how much.
I have it on my window ledge and I cleaned out my room and binned a lot of crap I had in my room and I noticed the money box and put some spare change I found around the room into it.
Roughly in February time (est 2 weeks after) I decided to put some more money in the box but it was gone. I thought oh boy I have moved it and looked around my room but couldn't find it anywhere. I went to my family and asked if they had seen it but none of them said they had. I felt a bit annoyed and distrustful of anyone for that day because my mum had problems with taking my money a few years before a big breakup that happened last year with my ex step dad (who also used to do this) and my soon to be new step dad since I dont know him all that well yet, aswell as my young brother who has been in trouble in more ways than one a few months prior.
My mum searches by brothers room and found no evidence and I couldn't find it wherever I looked. The thought was put in my head that I accidentally threw it out when cleaning but I remain convinced to the fact that
1. I wouldn't throw that away,
2. It's that heavy and the material wouldn't make me throw it in a bin bag,
3. I would never ever throw money away in general.
To this day it's still gone.
The weird thing is, is that the whole money box is gone and because of te material it is made from it's rather heavy and loud with change in it.
March
I found out that my new step dad is missing something, apparently he kept a collection of 50p coins which he had saved for x amount of time in a little case in his drawer in the bedroom and it's empty.
By this time I have already suspected my friends who I see almost all the time as they come to my house a lot but can't convince myself that they would steal or even wander around my parents room.
My two friends who I see a lot of are cousins so are related and the one I suspect the most has had a history of stealing before it turns out and I know he is a big liar, I couldn't accuse without evidence though.
I drop this friend off at his work in the mornings as we work near to each other.
The morning after I let him in and I went upstairs to get my keys and when I came down I saw his bag in the middle of the hallway and him in he kitchen.
I said why is your bag there and he said he through I wanted him to wait in the kitchen. He then noted I looked a bit mad with something so I said I'm ****ed off because I've learnt someone's stealing from us and straight away he just said well it wasn't me.
I've had to dismiss it as I hadn't noticed anything else go missing (or anything I have noticed)
My sister has had a hard time and has had to move back into out house so she keeps some of her items in my room currently.
It is now July (current date)
And she just told me she has noticed £5 go missing. I have given her an open drawer to store her things since my room is small and I didn't like things being left in the open.
I said the last time I saw it I gave it with her laptop to our brother the day before to give to her. And I put it in the drawer the day after but wasn't paying attention that I did it.
She suspects I may have left my friends alone and they took it.
I suspect it's either
Friend A - the one I mentioned.
Friend B - friend A's cousin but less likely
My brother
My brother gf - who is too trusted because she's his gf (my opinion)
I plan to start secretly recording my room when I leave them alone in it.
What would you do?
If I find out it's my friend I don't know what to do since we have been best mates for like 10years
