She Stole my Clothes

Dear WISY,

I'm writing because I don't know what to do.  There's this girl who lives in my neighborhood and she is stealing my wet clothes off of the clothes line.  Every weekend when I hang my clothes to dry, she goes and takes them off the line.  She watches to see when I leave the house and then she goes and takes the clothes.  I don't know how nobody sees her but I know it's her because she wears my clothes right in front of my face.

Yesterday, my cousins came to visit and she came to my house to visit with them because we all went to primary school together.  My cousin made a comment that the neighbor had the same dress as me and do you know she had the nerve to say that her family sent her some news clothes from the States?!  This  isn't the only time I've seen her in my clothes but I have never asked her about where she got her clothes from.

I do not want to cause any drama because I hate confrontation and I don't want her to get angry at me.  I can admit I am a bit of a punk but I am now very frustrated about this girl stealing my clothes and having the nerve to wear them right in front of my face.  I'm also starting to run low on clothes.

Please help me approach this as civilly as possible.  Thank you.

Dear Shirtless,

Even if you don't like confrontation, you allowed this to carry on for far too long and as a result, she has become comfortable enough to parade around in the clothes she stole from you not only in front of you but right in your home.  And another thing, letting her in your home is just giving her a preview of the items she wants to steal next.  Stop being so foolish.

If you're afraid to confront her then you need to get evidence or try to catch her in the act.  The next time you hang your clothes out, have someone stay in the house quietly and look out for her while you're out and record her.  You can also set up a camera.  Once you've caught her red-handed, you can give her the opportunity to reimburse you for the stolen clothes.  If she refuses, I would press charges.

When it comes to the violation of your property, the offender's feelings are the last thing you should consider.

Walk good,
