Dear Listening Ear,

My girlfriend and I were shopping yesterday, and I saw her steal a necklace from the store. 
Today she gave the necklace to another friend as a birthday present. Should I tell someone
about my friend stealing?  Should I tell the girl who has the necklace that it’s stolen?

Signed,

Confused in Corning
