I am currently shaking with anger and wanted to rant before punching a 9yr old square in the throat.
I've just found out that there are currently only 49 Skylanders (kids figure RF ID game) figures, when there should be 73. Now, they've turned the room upside down, and I nag them so much about looking after their things, they're always in the same box.

One of the eldest's "friends" who is 9, and the son of one of the Mrs' friends, was over the other day as his mum needed help. Now, I wouldn't accuse a kid normally, but he has just last week been caught swapping his skylanders (and his brothers) at school for pokemon cards, and stealing money from the house too. The kid is bloody 9!!!!
That and the fact that they were there before, and they're not now is pretty obvious what has happened and I'm livid.

It's a really hard one to broach though. YOUR KID IS A **** isn't quite what we need to lead with, so we sent a group message to a couple of the mums, this one included asking if they had extra... from there, where to go!?

There are over 200EUR worth missing! If nothing happens, I'm calling the police. He's never punished and just an evil kid. He speaks to me like **** and any adult for that matter and his parents just allow it.

TL;DR

kid stole from our house, we are damn sure, stand and bang?
 
Get over it.

Don't accuse unless you have 100% proof. Which you do not.

Considering how angry you are over such a trivial matter my guess is that your kids traded them with this kid for other things, and are now to scared to admit it because you are angry!

Easy to look at your own children with rose tinted glasses. Take em off for five mins, and think rationally.

Calm down, you have zero proof. Don't let him into your house anymore, and you keep the dolls, or whatever they are, as they seem so important to you.
 
This sort of thing happens, kids swap items etc then don't like to admit it to their parents. Take what your own kids are saying with a pinch of salt, you have no proof and the last thing you should do is accuse anyones kids.

Simply don't accept them again, when asked, explain the situation or make something up but there's little point getting worked up over this. Your kids have to learn from this too, turn it into a little lesson in trust/responsibility without the rage.
