I understand that it is a form of theft. I have previously posted about
how she had stayed at our apartment and I was in hot water for having
baked a double batch of chocolate chip cookies and my wife was upset
because the girl was supposed to be on Weight Watchers. Not a problem. I
put them into two cans and stashed them at the back of the bottom
cupboard. After she left I went to get the cookies from the hiding place
they were all gone.... a double batch, about 60 cookies. She had gone
snooping and found two cans of cookies that had obviously been hidden,
and she ate them all..... all 60 cookies.

On that same visit I had made an apple pie because me brother and his
wife were coming for dinner. When I went to get the pie for dessert I
discovered that she had eaten a hug hole out of the pie, leaving only
about 2 inches around the outside.

On another occasion she was here for a catered party. All the food was
served outside on a nice summer day. While we were outside, she was in
the kitchen rooting around in the cupboards, opening up boxes of
crackers and cookies. It is not like there wasn't lots of food available.

Yes. She has a problem. It's her problem. I don't want to have to deal
with it.
