Cleaning Lady Most Likely Steals

[wolfway]

I never trusted people who clean your house, but now i'm almost sure she steals.

i had 150 euro in my wallet, which lies in a closet. I counted it multiple times lately and now after she left i check my wallet and theres 20 euro gone i had 3 20 euro bank notes and now only 2

i had this kind of thing before, when i had multiple 5 euro banknotes in my wallet, one was gone, but my mother didn't believe me and me too i thought i counted wrong.

but now i'm so damn sure she stole it, i mean is it an accident that i'm missing 20 euro when there are a few notes of the same money in it? (she probably thinks that i wouldn't see there's one of those several notes gone) and the same thing with the 5 euro notes

aah man i'm soo pissed of my parents won't really believe me, my mother doubts she's unhonest

do you guys know anything to check this with proof? next time she comes i'm gonna put like 5 of the same sort and see if there's something gone again.
i'dd like to film her and see if she goes into my closet to see my wallet but i don't think thats really possible unnoticed right

web cams area great...could boobytrap the area too. Set up something to dump powder (if you're nice) or some kind of liquid if you dont mind things getting a little wet. Does she normally go into the closet? If no, then can jut make it so when she opens the door something happens, if she does, then you just have to be more creative.

ninjas work too..

she isn't supposed to go into my closets, it's none of her business, but i'll figure something out

be like spy TV..place webcam where you think stuff is being taken...or else place your wallet under the mattress..unless if she turns your pc on and see this board by accident hide your money in your underwears..if she finds it there..maybe she would try them on/or steal them

on a serious note..why do you NOT take your wallet with you?????

When I was young we got some professional carpet cleaners in and they stole a few tidbits from around the house so we just straight out reported it. Police went straight to them and we had them back the next day. It's pretty stupid on their part since we knew exactly where they'd be. If you're keen to get it back, ensure you won't persue charges and that'll get it back for you.

Chances are she's a cleptomaniac. She can't help it. If she could, do you think she'd be stupid enough to do it when there'd be no other suspects?

Although confronting her with video footage would be fun.

That's interesting that a few of you have had so many problems, we've had cleaners, gardners etc. for my entire life and never has anyone of them been dishonest or stolen from us. We've even had our house gassed for carpet beatle and inspected for termites while we've just left for the day and never anything has been taking. As for what you can do, not much bar confronting her, problem with that is you better be pretty damn sure otherwise you will look like a real fool.

Wouldn't be easier to let your parents check your wallet and count the money, and after she leaves making them count again?
Or just leave some money on a table or something (like, 4 or 5 "5 euro" notes) and make your parents check.
Or close her into the wardrobe til she admits (j/k, don't want to be a trouble starter! )

[wolfway]

the thing is we're not 100% sure she did it but i suspect it

i found some ways to check if she opens my closets

@megametal: it's not the wallet i take with me when i go somewhere, i just "stash" my money in there like children use this (don't know english word):



me and my parents are going to carefully check it now, i seriously hope i was wrong, but sjeez how could i just IMAGINE there was an extra banknote t here

what I did to check if my brothers were going into my room and taking my money was I left 5euro notes on the ground in my room and in my presses and random areas, but i wrote down where everything was, and left stuff in places where it looked like id forgotten I had money, and then just leave it and i came back a few days later and about 20 euro was gone! dont worry though I made up for it.....were a happy family

You can try to keep your money with you, or simply to hide it, but I can understand that you don't want to hide anything at home ...
