My mother-in-law entered our home while we were gone and used her own keys to open the door. I didn’t tell her that we had cameras installed, and after seeing the footage, I called the police.
My husband requested that his mother have a duplicate key when we moved into our new house. “She can take care of the house, water the plants, and feed the cat if we ever go away,” he said simply.
Every time I got home, I saw odd little things, but I didn’t fight. I couldn’t find the documents where I placed them.
In my box, the jewelry was rearranged. I occasionally even discovered product wrappers from things we had never purchased in the trash.
“You’re dreaming,” my spouse said, waving me away. – My mom would never act in that way.
However, the uneasiness within me continued to increase. I decided to put covert cameras in the living room, bedroom, and even the hallway after making yet another odd find. Neither my mother-in-law nor my husband were informed. All I wanted to know was why she entered our house without warning and without an invitation.
My breath caught when I switched on the recordings the following day. I phoned the cops right away after seeing them 
As the camera captured, my mother-in-law entered the house as though it were her own, removed her coat, and discovered that she wasn’t by herself. She was followed by a man who was obviously younger than her. They walked around the home, joked, and poured wine as though it were their own.
The worst, however, was yet to come. It was evident from the recording that this man entered our bedroom, unlocked my dresser, and began searching through my belongings.
After a few minutes, he left the room with my jewelry box, and my mother-in-law stood close by, acting as if nothing had happened.
I clutched my chest as I sat in front of the TV, feeling as though my heart would explode.
Unable to believe what I was seeing, I muttered, “Oh my God.”
It was evident when I fast-forwarded the video after rewinding it. This was no coincidence.
I made a police call that same evening. I showed my husband the video when he got home. Pale as a wall, he sat silently.
He barely got out, “That—that’s my mother.” And she was aware that he was stealing?
All I did was nod.
The police arrived at our home a few hours later. My mother-in-law never thought her secret would be discovered so soon.
