Well Listen confront her completely to the fullest extent she'll probably make an excuse like oh i bought it the other dayy well thats bullshit.. someones stole my stuff before and i'll tell you right now infront of everyone i yelled "bitch you have my clothes on and i want them back" well she made up a sorry excuse like oo its not yours i bought it the other day at target well im sorry but i bought mine 2 years ago at macys so your wrong and i want it back.. it might have been mean but she learns not to mess with you.. oh and if your ever with her alone.. take it back please it'll make you happier and she cant get mad at you because she knows it was yours to begin with [ Melissag523's advice column | Ask Melissag523 A Question ]

kensey123 answered Sunday November 6 2005, 9:06 pm: Try calmly asking her if she could stop stealing your stuff. If she says she doesn't, then say can i see your backpack? Or you could say well i've seen it in your backpack. If you aren't then okay... but if you are please stop. Hope it helped!
x0brittany0x answered Sunday November 6 2005, 6:00 pm: Change your combination or get another lock. Also I would confront her and say `Hey [hernamehere] I know you have been stealing my things from my locker and I would really appreciate you giving them back.`
kendallski03 answered Sunday November 6 2005, 5:33 pm: Take gaurds on your locker the most you can. Ask the school principal if you can change your lock number because she must know it! If he says no, then your last choice is to talk to your friend. [ kendallski03's advice column | Ask kendallski03 A Question ]
DeadMemories answered Sunday November 6 2005, 3:20 pm: Hey!
One Thing. Steal it back. I had the same problem and if you dont do something like confront her of it or steal it back and flag it in her face she will keep doing it.
SurfGirl18 answered Sunday November 6 2005, 3:18 pm: you should talk to youre freind. Nicely ask her why she is doing this. maybe she is mad about somthing or somthing else is happening. If she sayd that seh did never steel. then you will have to tellon her. She can no tkeep doing this to you. if she is a true friend she would have never done this. This is my advice:) [ SurfGirl18's advice column | Ask SurfGirl18 A Question ]
helpful_13 answered Sunday November 6 2005, 3:14 pm: Ask your friend up straight if she is stealing your stuff.If she says yes tell her you want you stuff back and if she says no then you should tell a teacher because if she is stealing your stuff she is not your friend.

W0AHxiiTSxKAY answered Sunday November 6 2005, 3:11 pm: if you want your shit back you should tell. next time you see her with your stuff ask her why she thinks she has the right to steal your shit. Only "tell on her" if she absolutly refuses to own up to it..or give you your stuff back..

OMGitsRoxy answered Sunday November 6 2005, 3:04 pm: Ask her politely if she REALLY did steal from your locker. If she denies it and you find out or catch her stealing something tell her you know she stole something and that you're really mad. She'll probably denie it again. If she does for the second time, tell your princibal or something!!
caden answered Sunday November 6 2005, 2:50 pm: Check your locker and see if anythings missing and if there is, you should tell her that you know and ask her for it back nicely. If she sais no, talk to an adult. [ caden's advice column | Ask caden A Question ]
jilly77 answered Sunday November 6 2005, 2:47 pm: Hey! Well I dont think that you should tell someone on her just yet. The thing to do now is confront her about it. Believe me, when things like this are confronted about, you'll friend will most likely feel awkward, then apologize. But don't go up to her and say,"Why are you stealing my stuff?" Because that might not be the case. You should ask her why you found all of your stuff in your backpack? If she continues taking your sutff, then you should tell someone. Hope i helped! tell me how things go! xox

Altruistic answered Sunday November 6 2005, 2:20 pm: Even if you don't want to tell, you should. If you dont do anything about it, she'll just keep stealing things. I think, rather than confronting her in front of other people, where she's liable to get angry or something, talk to her alone or something. If you catch her looking at your things, you can just walk up to her and ask her "if you're done with my "whatever your thing" is, can i have it back?" If things get ugly, you should definitely tell a teacher or parent [and be prepared to prove that the item is yours not hers], and while you're at it, get a new lock for your locker and DONT tell her the combo.

Advicelady6798 answered Sunday November 6 2005, 2:19 pm: The best thing to do is to put a sticker or something on one of your belongings and initial the item. If she takes it and you look at and you find your initials then she stole it. Or bring something valuable to school and ask her if this is hers and pretend like you dont know who it belongs to. If she says its hers then you say no it is not its mine. And you can prove that she steals form you and demand that you want everything that is yours back.

BeFABULOUSxo answered Sunday November 6 2005, 2:17 pm: You have to confront her about it. Just walk up to her when she's looking at the stuff in her bag that's yours and say, "Oh ____ are you done with that yet?" If you walk right up to her and accuse her of stealing, she'll get angry. Just be calm and confident when you talk to her and you'll be fine. =) [ BeFABULOUSxo's advice column | Ask BeFABULOUSxo A Question ]
