Robbed at my baby shower :(

in November 2015 Moms
My shower was this past Saturday and someone took $200 from one of cards. I feel so devastated about it and just can't seem to get over it. We have an idea about who did it, but the money still hasn't shown up. Just needed to vent about my situation.Sigh....

    Oh my god get all over that, screw being polite!  If someone stole money from me they would regret it.  Hope it works out and you get it back OP.

    That is crappy since most showers r close family and friends. Are u sure it didn't fall out of the card into a bag or got mixed in with another card or envelope? Make sure to double check it didn't get in clothes as well or other items. Don't throw anything away until u look through it all carefully before tossing in the garbage.

    But if someone did take it that is really crappy and I would feel bad as well. I hope u find it!

    Wow, what a crappy deal. I hope that person knows she stole from an innocent baby, not you. I would confront that person If you are pretty sure who took it. Or write them a snide remark in their thank you card. I'm sorry, I hope the money turns up!

    I've heard of that happening at weddings by venue staff, but never at a baby shower, and never by an actual guest! Who does that?! Sorry, OP. That sucks.

    Wow! I am so sorry. I hope the money turns up. If it doesn't, what a sad excuse of a person.

    Pure. Shit. I'd totally put the pressure on with that person. Do a 'money has gone missing and we know who took it. We're hoping it shows back up soon because if not then we're going to have figure out the next steps.' Vibe it out the response. Then destroy. Or ya know, be passive and chill it out and hope for the best. Either way, I'm sorry that that happened to you. The karma gods always deliver.

    I'm so sorry. Some people have no respect for anyone. And what's worse is they're supposed to be friends. If it were me I would be confronting the person without hesitation. Even nonchalantly bringing it up. In any case I sure hope it gets returned to you. $200 is a lot, I'd be mad over $20, it's just the point.

    Wow! People are truly disgusting. I am a firm believer in karma and that missing money will come back to you somehow. It may never turn up but something good will come of it.

    I know that happens at weddings a lot, my brother recently got married and the venue had private undercover security near the gift table! Wtf is wrong with people. Weddings are pretty shallow but at a baby shower?!

    That's so crappy! The only thing I would think is how bad I feel for the person that stole it because they think they deserve it more than you... That would make me pity them.

    Thanks for all the comments everyone! I did confront my friend several times and asked her to talk to her daughter(Who is 16) and she says she went through her things, but nothing... She also told me her daughter had been accused of stealing twice at Target and once at school for taking someones $
    The only reason I know the money was taken is because I never took it out of the card and it went right back in the envelope with all the other gifts. Desipte knowing this I went through all garbage bags, gifts and other envelopes repetedly!
    @ Grapesoda1111 I actually was planning on putting a rude remark in the thank you cards. lol

    Or at the very least assure the mom-to-be that she'll do something and, you know, actually parent her child. If my mom ever caught wind of me stealing when I lived with her I would have gotten my behind beat even if I was eighteen. 

    I think if your friend can't front the cash that her daughter stole than your friend's daughter should do all your yard work for the equivalent of $20 a time - after ten times of acceptable level yard care (mowing, weed eating, pulling weeds, whatever), her debt is cleared. 


    This, I definitely second this idea. She shouldn't just be let off the hook that easy. Put her little butt to work.

    Yes!! She needs to parent her child!!! There has to be consequences this is why she has been "accused" of it before! She will never learn the brat!!!

    Eww. Who steals from pregnant lady's gift? I mean, Target or whatever is one thing but really? I'm sorry you got to deal with that. It's good you confronted said parent, but like PP have said, she should REALLY be stepping up here.
