Need advice for a WW who left Part 3

[dwh15]

OK...so she's lied to you for a year or more...now she's used the kids as an excuse to get into your house and steal from you...

Do you have an L hired yet? What steps have you taken to ensure that she can't steal from you again?

I cannot urge you strongly enough to take decisive action. Let me ask you this- how would you respond if the baby sitter took your wedding ring and car titles? Seriously. She isn't your W anymore. She is an ex, with another man, living in another household, and she feels entitled to everything you own because she deserves it because it's your fault she's in that spot. All of her pain is your fault. Don't get drawn into discussion or debate with her. Protect your a$$ TODAY.

I don't think you understand. I had asked WW to come and check on the kids today. Otherwise, I get to spend my lunch hour driving back and forth to do it. I was fine with the idea of her coming in and spending an hour or two quality time with the kids. I had no idea she was going to take those jewelry boxes. It was mostly her stuff and I would have been fine with it, except for the fact of my wedding ring and the car titles. I don't think she did it deliberately, but her reaction when confronted is what really bothered me. So I guess the answer is I need to get a keyed lock for my bedroom and I put anything of value that I don't want her snooping with in that room locked. We'll see how she follows through on returning the things she "accidentally" took.

Yes, I do have an attorney, and yes, I can legally keep her out of the house. Depending on how this works out, I may have to resort to doing so. I hate that it has come to this, but she's certainly still in full wayward mode, and I learned a hard lesson, yet again, about trusting her.
