Re: What to do about a theft problem?
Considering the worth of the items being taken, I'd pursue further action:
Write a letter to all parents. Send it out and ask them to attend a mandatory meeting with their students. Ask a school security guard to be there, or a school officer. Remind them that stealing is a crime, add that anyone can anonymously bring back the items at any time without punishment, but if nothing is done about it, more serious measures will be taken. In the meantime, ask students to check in and check out of meetings with a lead mentor.
This may seem a little harsh, but it seems like this is an ongoing problem. It stinks that these kinds of things happen... but they do happen, and need to be dealt with accordingly. Best of luck with this.
