Really what is wrong with kids especially when you claim to be my DD good friend

So 3 of my DD friends slept over last night, now my DD has a radio you know the kind where you can charge your ipod touch and listen to your music..well guess what the ipod is missing gone vanished into thin air my DD always has it on there to charge and listen to her music always.. the only time she removes it is when we go some where, the girls were left alone multiple times before they left all left at diffrent times. When the last girl left my DD went to her room to get her stuff ready for school and that's when she wanted to turn on her music and noticed her ipod was gone. She said she didn't remove it from there but we still looked everywhere for it and nothing....
This is a $400 ipod with 400+ songs on it each song is .99 - $1.29
my DD asked all 3 of them and they all said that they didn't have it...BS one of those little s**** has it, it's not just gonna get up and walk away. My DD has known 1 of the girls since 5th grade and the other 2 since 6th grade.. why would they or her do that. I told my DD that they were not allowed back in my house and that I didn't want her speaking to them(not sure if I'm wrong on that ) I will speak to the parents... right now I'm still trying to calm down. What would you do how would you ask the parents.

I would ask each set of parents to please keep an eye out for it. Not accuse any of them directly, but just that it has come up missing since the sleepover and maybe it "fell" into one of thier backpacks or something. I wouldn't allow them back in my house, either. Thieves are not tolerated in our house.

I agree with doing it tactfully, say something like, I was just wondering if "so n so" could have picked it up by mistake, or maybe it got put with her things....without outwardly accusing them. Since you are unsure which one it was. I wouldnt let them back over either, at least until you find out for sure who did it.

None of them had bags no toothbrush nothing they just had the clothes they were wearing... my DD said but mommy where would they put it because 2 of them were wearing shorts with no pockets, I told her that if they wanted something that bad they would find a place to put it. I still can't believe they/she would do something like that, my baby got that ipod 2yrs ago and she deserved it and she bought about more than half of the songs on it with B-day money, money she got from watching my brothers dog or helping my mom out or from us when we had extra cash
I will be calling the parents tomorrow.

D. I am so sorry to hear this. I will be praying for you. This is not right and I would not stop until I had it back in my hands if I were you. Definitely call the parents. I hope they have morals and do the right thing.

What a bummer! Yucky situation.

Are the songs backed up on a computer? Then you would atleast have the songs.

My niece had just told me that my new ipod had something hers didn't. I told her 'Go update it on your computer and you'll probably get it'.
she said "Oh, I haven't done that in a long time"...
I told her to back it up all the time...then songs are saved and apples updates are downloaded.
I guess I'm showing my age here, saying 'back it up' instead of 'syncing'.

Did you hear the one about the guy who named his ipod 'the titanic'?
So when he hooked it up to his computer it would say "The titanic is syncing"

And it costs money, but those engraving jewelry stores at the Malls would engrave names and whatever on the back of the ipod....then it wouldn't do anyone any good to steal it
And what about contacting Apple? Since each one has it's own serial number and what-not and when they are hooked up to a computer it might know it....I don't know if I'm making any sense.

I had a similar situation with my sons ipod. Im not sure what the limit is in your state, but $800 may be considered a felony. I would call the parents and explain to them that if the ipod doesnt show up by the end of the day the police will be called and the parents may be held responsible. This will hopefully scare them into talking/yelling at the kids and getting the guilty party to fess up.(This thankfully happened in my sons situation and we go the ipod back) I would then apologize to the innocent girls parents and let them know who took the ipod.(that way they know that it was indeed stolen and you werent just being a mean person) Good Luck I hope you get it back.

I agree with the others .. I would call the parents and ask if the iPod was found in their child's things .. we have had things gone missing here as well .. some have reappeared and others are gone.

I wonder if something like this can be covered under your home owners insurance ..you may need to file a police report ... might be worth a phone call if it doesn't show up ..

good luck ..

I would be livid! I tell my kids all the time to put their things away when they have friends over. They just don't understand that things can walk off.

I hope you get the ipod back I know heart heartbreaking it is for you DD. Also, she should have her music in itunes so at least the music is not lost.
