okay I need to vent, I have a good friend who steals, I'll call her Tina. She is not poor, still lives with her parents who spoil her rotten, they buy her anything and ask for nothing in return. She has had one job I think and didn't like it so she told the manager off and quit after maybe a month...it was at a video store for F's sake! she is not in school or college at the moment, althought she does plan on going in the fall, she could be working but she does nothing instead! Well one day I bought a nice shirt, but after getting home I decided I didn't like the way it fit so I was planning on taking it back to the store the next day, my other friend tried it on, and when I saw her doing this told her not to take the tags off because I was taking it back the next day, she was fine with that and quickly put the shirt down.
Well Tina saw/heard me say this and watched where I put the shirt away. The next day I rip my room apart trying to find that shirt but it's nowhere to be found, I ask my friend that tried it on and she said no she hadn't seen it or took it, I believe her because she had no bag with her and was wearing her own shirt the next morning. So the only other person would could have taken it was Tina, I questioned her and of course she said no. I knew she took it but had no proof.
It's been months since that happened and I had forgotten about it(the shirt wasn't crazily expensive so I dropped it) well almost the exact same thing happened to my other friend, with Tina taking it, but my other friend was lucky and found her shirt in Tinas room a year later(if you call that lucky), but Tina tried to cover her a$s by saying "oh you must have left it here", but thats not possible because she bought it on a trip out of state and hadn't worn it once or left the house, Tina was over the day she got back and my other friend never saw her shirt until a year later, it was faded from washing and had bleach marks on it..
There are other situations where we have proof that she is taking our stuff and lying about it...I don't understand her, she is my good friend and for the most part a good person, but this side of her bugs me because I question other things about her if she can steal from friends so easily and lie about it.............any thoughts/suggestions/stories would be welcome....thanks for listening to me vent, sorry it was so long
