Ill start by saying that this girl, while fun to hang out with at times, is a generally ungrateful person. I let her stay in my home for free when she needed a place and she trashed the place and didn't contribute a thing. This is just so you get an idea of who she is.
She's not really someone I consider a friend anymore after the house guest thing, but we work at the same club and it's a 40 minute drive, so we often carpool.
Lately she had been saying how great she looks in the color red. Well, I had a brand new red lingerie set from Victoria's Secret and it was in my dancer bag. I'm 100% sure it was all in the bag, as I handwashed it prior to leaving and grabbed the whole thing off the drying rack. (Even if I forgot something, it's bright red and I'd easily find it later).
In the car she says she forgot her eyeliner. I tell her some is in my bag and she can use it. I'm the one driving so I'm not paying too much attention to what she's doing.
When I get to work, I notice the bra is gone. It did not fall out in my car - I searched the entire thing several times. It was at the very bottom of the bag under my shoes and jacket so it didn't fall out on the way to my car. Despite being positive I had it in the bag, I searched my apartment thoroughly with no luck. We do wear the same bra size and I can't help but feel she may have taken it.
This girl would have to have some serious nerve to take it because that means she literally stole it right in front of me when I was looking away briefly due to driving. I knew she was kind of a freeloader, but I thought it was more of her being raised poorly than being malicious.
I have no evidence she actually took it other than the fact she used the eyeliner in the bag with the bra and now the bra is gone. I would feel awful to falsely accuse her but there's no other logical explanation.
I already asked her in a non-accusing way if she knows where it went. She acted confused and said she saw it when grabbing the eyeliner and "has no idea."
It was an expensive bra and I'm pissed...not just because of that, but because she is the most ungrateful human I've ever wasted time with if she stole from me after letting her live on my couch. I could easily take back the money from her it would take to buy a new one...She leaves her money bag out a lot from work. However this is a last resort and only something I'd only consider if I found out for a fact she took it. I would feel awful doing that to someone innocent. I'd give it a lot more time to turn up first.
I don't know what to do since I'm sure she'll deny it if I confront her again. Obviously I'll be distancing myself from her to the point of no longer even carpooling. But I at least want a shot at getting the bra back and finding out if it was her
