[quote=Anonymous]We have a full time nanny and a part time sitter who comes one afternoon a week because our nanny takes classes at night. Both are newish - we’ve had them each for about 2 months. But we, and my kids, really like both.

About 2 weeks ago I noticed one of my necklaces was missing. I keep my jewelry on a stand in my bedroom and the door to our room is always closed (but who’s to say someone can’t go in there). It was a pretty expensive necklace with some diamonds, and it was special since DH gave it to me. Right afterward I asked both the sitter and nanny very casually if they had seen it anywhere and positioned it as maybe I misplaced it since I did not want to be accusatory. Neither had seen it or claimed they knew which necklace I was talking about and I let it go because I don’t know what else I can do without accusing both when one person is obviously innocent.

Fast forward and last night DH is getting a bottle of wine to drink from our wine fridge and notices a space that wasn’t there with one bottle missing. It was a bottle of very expensive champagne given to him as a gift and it’s gone. We absolutely didn’t drink it and DH actually moved it from one spot to another about a week before then so it was definitely there.

Clearly someone is stealing but I don’t know how to figure it out without offending one person and likely souring the whole relationship. There is no one else who comes into our house so it has to be one of them.

How would you approach this? I can ask about the champagne but they will both just deny it.

We do have a camera in our basement but we have a pretty big house so it would be awkward to put them all over now.[/quote]
