Okay, i'm writing this for help, again. This time I don't know what to do completely. I'm literally begging for someone to take my head and screw it on right.
I hang around with a girl who keeps the bullies at bay. Because of this, i'm scared to lose her. However, she can be a bully herself and if I say or do anything wrong her sisters would batter me (beat me to a pulp). Her sisters still go to my school, and see me daily. She lives alone and barely has enough money to keep herself afloat, so she asks for handouts a lot.
Recently she became friendlier with my mum although I tried to stop it. My mum invited her in and she was acting polite as she does to her elders. Then my mum called me upstairs, and she said she would stay in the kitchen. When I came back down and opened the door she quickly turned away from the microwave where my mum places her rings and neckalces and quickly looked interested in the tv. She left soon after, without encouragement. I immeadiately checked my mums possessions and her engagement ring, costing 2500 pounds ($4,454.38 USD) is missing. She has not noticed yet, and I don't know what to do. If I alert her to it then she will call the police, they will obviously alert this girl to it and her sisters will KILL me, and make my life hell (they've done it to other people), if I don't, she will ask me if I know what happened to it and I don't know what to say.
HELP!! !! !

Dear One, You MUST report this to the police as soon as possible, and you need to tell your mother what has happened. She deserves to get her possessions back immediately, before they are sold in a pawn shop or elsewhere. Contact the police, inform them of the fear of retaliation from the other sisters. She was not a friend, she was a conniving, deceitful, thief who took advantage of you and your mom... I will not tolerate these type of people, I had a similar experience many, many years ago...I cringe that he got away with my dad's wallet, but you, my dear, have the duty and the responsibility to do the right thing, right now...Keep me posted, please, on what transpires......

Don't be intimidated by her b***h sisters. £2500 is worth a bit of pain. REPORT HER TO THE POLICE AND GET YOUR MUM'S POSSESSIONS BACK! If you don't, it will come back to YOU in the end.

its not easy though is it? If I tell my mum she will blame me, she always does. Also we are going on holiday soon and don't want to dampen that down. I must admit I'm petrified of her sisters, and she also has contacts everywhere. No matter what happens, it will come back to haunt me either way. The police can't stop me going to school can they? and they certainly can't stop her sisters from doing so. She (obviously) knows where I live, and could send ANYONE to my door. I've seen her send a man to an ex-boyfriend's who used her for simply sex, he is still in hospital. I don't want this to happen to me!! !!

This isn't anything petty. And have her sisters actually done anything to you? You can't just be trodden on like that. It's better to have her charged than let her get away with something so valuable, which isn't even yours. YOU could be held liable if your mum finds out and calls the police before you do.
I had a bastard step-brother, who stole from our family in pretty much the same way. Same for the rest of my scummy ex-stepfamily. Hopefully, they're all in poverty and filth.

You have to inform your mother and the police of what has happened. Did you touch where the ring was? Surely they could get prints from that, if she didn't use gloves or something else.
Don't tolerate it! Do something!

That she has criminal links, will be further evidence that she is a thief. Do you know if she has any previous convictions? People waiting outside the house can only do so much, as well. If you travel with discretion and keep an eye out for threats, you should be alright. If her sisters try to attack you, tell them the truth and the WHOLE DAMN TRUTH! Words are probably wasted on such scum, but you MUST do something.

Your 'friend' set you up and used you to enable her to commit a crime, with your mother as the victim. If you love your mother, then you'll go to the police. If you don't go to the police, then you obviously don't love your mother.

You have to tell your mother. Not because of the cost of the ring but because of the sentiment she may have attached to it.

If she calls the police, then you don't necessarily have to be involved. You didn't personally call them.

Also... stop hanging around the girl for protection. You should be hanging around friends. (ie: people who care about you and vice versa).

If you feel that you have to stay near someone for protection then there is something very wrong with the system.

1.- She is NOT your friend
2.- to hell with her

monkees4va,
you already know what the right thing to do is - you are just scared of doing it. Find your inner courage and do the right thing - tell your mother EVERYTHING, the whole story. It is then your mother's decision what to do next.

thank you for the urging comments, but I guess I am a coward
My mum has noticed its gone, she sent me a text I can't reply too. I am still so confused and a true friend spoke to her and she supposedly told her she has pawned it for a much smaller amount than it is worth. She even told me the shop, the only pawn shop within walking distance. I really now don't know what to do. I'm scared!
Her sisters have battered me stupid before for simply saying I didn't want to hang around with them. Since they are under 16 they were not charged for it. They aint gonna be 16 for a while.
I don't know if this is true but I was told that the police could take the crime anonomously and search the house to 'retreive' any stolen goods without mentioning names, then arrest her without actually saying our names. Is this true?
But if she has pawned it, is it not too late? there is no evidence either way!

oops, double post

That is good to hear.

Well, your mother could pawn it back. There might even be laws which mean that you could get it back for free, but I don't know.

things that you don't like or hurt you and your family are starting to happen, better GTFO before you're forced to do something that you don't want to do or before you get involved in things that require the police.

In the UK, I think it's illegal for a pawn shop not to hand back identified stolen items to the poilce if asked to. I'm not sure.

This is a hard one, as I hear the issue with the sisters. Maybe if it gets that bad you could switch schools, and I'm sure if your honest your mum would understand and help you do this. Nobody ever has as many "contacts" as they say they do unless they are some big time gangster, which this girl is not. She sounds to me like she might be a secret drug addict stealing to fund her habbits or something like that. For all you know she's stealing to order for these "sisters".

Well, My mum spoke to me today.
She said that if she doesn't get the ring back before tonight she IS going to phone the police and she doesn't care if I get into trouble for it, she just wants this ring back (understandably). I'm CRAPPING myself, as this girl is immeadiatly going to get done and her sisters will find out and KILL me. I don't wanna change schools at this point.
I still wonder if i can report it anonomously. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Please help me!
sorry if i'm getting on your nerves.

things are going to get ugly girl, there's no escape from that, you'll have to live with your decisions (in this case, that you had this person as your "friend"). I'd suggest you talk to her mom.
