Around 2 years ago I had moved in with my Mrs as she had just got pregnant after being together a while. Around about a month later, she went on holiday with her mum for a week. I invited around 5 of my mates to mine so show them where I was living and also for a few beers and some PS3.
Now 2 of my mates arrived after playing 5 a-sides and asked if they could take a shower. I said yes and showed them one at a time where the shower was a how to use it. (Person A is a Police Officer and Person B works for a company as handyman) Late that night 2 of my mates stayed – one of which was Person B. When I woke up I was sober enough to drive and drove both of them home.
When my Mrs arrived back she had unfortunately had a miscarriage travelling back and we took a while to grieve and try to get over what had happened. She did notice straight away that people had stayed and I admitted I had a few friends over and didn’t tell her as I knew she would be anxious. Around maybe a month later or so she couldn’t find a necklace. We hunted high and low and searched the whole house front to bottom but couldn’t find it. I swore that none of my friends would steal from me as they would never do that to a mate.
Say around 4 months later, I saw on Facebook a picture of Person B wearing one of my T-Shirts. I asked him if it was mine and he laughed it off and said it was his trophy from that night and he would wear it various places and take pictures. I naively thought no more of this and forgot about it.
Fast forward a year and we were looking in our receipt box for something and my Mrs came across a receipt for earrings she had bought on a cruise around 4 year ago. She then said she hadn’t seen them in a while and went up and they were not in her jewellery box. Again I was asked if any of my friends could have taken the jewellery and again I defended them. The value of the jewellery missing was £600 necklace and £400 diamond earrings.
Recently on a night out, I discovered that in the past, when he was around 18, Person B raided a girl’s jewellery box and pawned it when he was at a party in her house. Upon questing this with my other friends, Person B has taken one of his friends bank cards whilst he was getting showered and withdrawn money from his account. He was also caught stealing an item from Person A at this time and when caught, broke down crying and said he was feeding a habit and had to get help.
When I got this information I have put two and two together and I now think it was him. My house is a 4 bedroom house. 1 Main bedroom where 2 people took a shower. 2 other bedrooms which were used for sleeping that night another completely different bedroom where we keep our clothes and jewellery. This is also where my T shirt would have been and was taken from this room which he had no reason to be in nor would I have known about it if I hadn’t seen the photo on Facebook.
I have confronted said person who has denied this and said he can understand why Id think it was him due to his past but that he was feeding a habit back and then and would never “do that to a good mate even when he was up seeing his new house”. I don’t buy it one bit and me and I seem to be getting a hard time from my other half on this as it was my decision to have a party and not tell her and I let them in and they were able to roam about upstairs.
I feel a bit hard done by as I never thought for a minute that a mate would do that to me and I felt I should have been able to have friends over as I now saw it as my house due to paying my half of the bills, mortgage etc.
Taking revenge etc. or beating the guy up is a non-event if anyone says anything about it but was looking for people’s opinions that aren’t connected with me and can offer a neutral view.
