Default "Friend" stole my sunglasses

This Christmas when I went home to my parent's house, my roommate had a friend over. I've known both my roommate and the friend for a very long time, so I felt no need not to trust them.

However, when I came back I found out that the friend my roommate had invited over had stolen my $200 sunglasses and given them to someone else.

I'm not 100% sure he did this because I didn't catch him and he didn't admit it, but I have a good feeling it happened.

I want to beat the ever living **** out of him, to be perfectly honest. But, I don't think that's a very mature way to handle it. I guess I could just stop associating with him.

What do you suggest?

File a police report.

Tactfully talk to your roommate about items missing. Don't be accusatory, but do let him know valuables are going missing.

If it were me, I'd also get a quality, locking chest or cabinet. Any time you have a roommate, you can't control what friends or dates he brings home. If anything else goes missing, you'll never really know who took it. This way you have peace of mind.

That seems like such an odd thing for a person to do. Why would he do that? How do you know that you didn't just lose your sunglasses and the other person didn't just own the same pair?

Two people told that he told them they he had them. When I asked him about it, he said he'd never seen them.

Sounds like you need some new friends! Apparently he needed those sunglasses more than you. You can file a police report if you want. Physical violence will not solve it, if anything get you into more trouble! It will come back around to him, that's the way the universe works!
