What theft? Who stole what from whom?

 

[MO Mom]

I suspect a family member of stealing $2000 cash from my home, but I can't prove it. What should I do?

Report the theft to your insurance agent. Report the theft to the police. Don’t let the family member back in your house.

I accessed my cash, which was saved for emergencies, late one evening. The following day, everyone in the family, except the suspect, attended a birthday party. The suspect was alone in the house for 5 hours. The day after the party, I went to access the money and it was gone. The suspect didn't know I had the money and didn't know where I kept it. So, the suspect must have searched to see if we had any cash in the house, found it, and took it. No one else had the time or opportunity to steal it.

That might support your suspicions but it does not prove the family member stole the money.

You can include your suspicion in your report to the police. I recommend you do not repeat your suspicion to others.

...and don't refer to this person as "the suspect".
