I have a babysitter who comes overnights sometimes and sometimes during the day to watch my daughters. My daughters both have a Nook. One of them snuck it to school and the sitter said she didn't come home with it. I figured my daughter lost it at school (which is very possible) and it's her fault and my fault that it was taken to school. Now, I check my kids' bags when they leave. I had some expensive mascara come up missing and when I asked her about it, she had it in her purse for some reason but returned it. Then, I had some eyeshadow go missing, she found it again in her possession and returned it. One of my daughter's new dresses went missing, somehow the sitter had it. Since then, it seems like little things go missing. I had $40 go missing out of my kitchen drawer, I am missing some clothes, now my $400 gaming console.
Yesterday, I called the sitter to come help me with a few things and she came and I told her I was leaving to the ER because I was sick. She offered and stayed at my home and cleaned the house so I wouldn't come home to a messy house. She was alone in the house for about an hour. Today, she came over to get a check and we left my home together. I told her I was missing some clothes and described a top I was missing and she quickly found it in my daughter's room. I told her things were just growing legs and walking away. So anyway, we left, I watched her leave and I went to the store. I made sure to lock my house tight. She doesn't have a key. Well, I just got home and went to look for my PS 4 (which was still in the box) and it's gone. The box is there, but the contents are gone. I'm extremely angry, but I don't want to accuse my sitter. A friend of mine has been eyeballing the console since I bought it and I told him he couldn't have it. He has access to my home. I also have a friend who's been in and out. So my sitter isn't the only one I'm looking at here. But how do I know who took it when I ask everyone?
