[quote=Anonymous]I agree, you need to tell het you know.

You should also tell her what you know about what hapoens to kids who shoplift.

I knew someone who was caught with a friend trying to steal bras from a department store.  Their parents got called and although they didn't get police records in the end, they were told they were not allowed back in the store.  That's how I found out because it was a mall anchor store and whenever we went to the mall we couldn't park in that convenient lot since our friend could not cut through the store.  Pretty humiliating since everybody ended up learning one way or another.

Another thing kids used to do which is harder these days (due to UPCs) is price tag switching and markdown sticker switching.

Unfortunately, you'll have to secure the valuables belonging to you and your other kids.  Maybe you can get them child bank accounts with debit cards and PINS she doesn't know.

At her age, you should be pretty aware of everything she has the capability to purchase.  I agree that things that seem stolen should be confiscated.  If you want to get crafty, tell her that she can have a friend speak to you in person if the item was a gift.  That way you have a chance to know which of her friends are either super-generous OR are your daughter's accomplices.  Either way, you get valuable background info.[/quote]
