I'd confront. By doing so, worse case the friendship is over.
Sounds like best case is the friendship is over regardless. You don't need people like this in your life. |

| Yep, I agree with the pps. She sounds unstable. |

I would have nothing to do with her anymore. If you aren't comfortable letting the friendship die out, certainly don't have her over to your house anymore. Today it's a shirt. Tomorrow, it is jewelry, money, electronic equipment, video games, anything valueable and portable.

She stole, then lied about it- trust gone!
Ditch her before she ends up stealing something of far more value, or getting you or your child in trouble due to her "habits". |

This is only hard because your sons are friends. You need to get as far away from this nut job as you can. If your son values this friendship and you like her son, I would consider allowing them to play and not having (at least the mom) over to your house. That aspect makes this very sad.
If this woman pushes on spending time together, I would say to her directly something along the lines of, I really do not feel comfortable spending a lot of time with you since you stole from me. That kinds of manipulative person hates being called on it. Don't back down (within reason of course, do not endanger yourself). Also, you could read the Gift of Fear by Gavin Becker (I think). You do not identify anything that warns of potential violence (which is mostly what the book is about), but the book is really good at explaining how manipulation works. Good luck. |

| Strangest thing I ever heard of-agree with the other posters that she may be mentally unstable. |

I've seen people do this with toys at other peoples houses. No idea why. They are teaching their kids to steal. |
