Victim’s own family member steals their property

“We had a person report that over several months, tools were disappearing from his garage. He wasn’t sure when it started, but thought it may be a family member. The first thing we checked was the family member’s recent transactions and found all 6 items that were missing, plus additional items he didn’t know were missing. The family member admitted to the thefts when confronted with the evidence, and several items were able to be recovered for the victim.”
