My sister does the same things as yours. Except it seems to apply primarily to the objects belonging to my parents or to me. She seems to think we are easy targets. She seems to steal primarily to sell items to support her drug use, but there seems to be no reason for her stealing my clothing other than wanting it herself.
I once discovered one of my favorite shirts missing from the laundry room after my sister had been home for only an hour. I went to her room, asked her about it, she claimed no knowledge of such a shirt. I went and looked for it some more, then went back and prodded her some more. I finally got angry enough with her to tear the pillows out from under her, and guess what was beneath? Even holding the shirt in my hand that had been hidden beneath the pillow under her head, she wouldn't admit that she had taken it.
I have very little to do with her anymore. Her theft has destroyed her relationship with me; I offered her a place to live to get away from the drugs she had been using at home. The next day, I discovered two of my credit cards missing. That was really the last straw for me.. I can't even look at her anymore.
