Quick summary. My brother and this girl used to be good friends. My brother was in a band, she worked for the local radio station that played this band frequently. The drummer of my brother's band started dating her, let's call her Stephanie. After a year of being really close friends, my brother and Stephanie had a falling out and started disliking each other. It was clear that Stephanie wanted to break up the band and used her influence on the drummer. My brother told me that she's fairly abusive to her bf and once broke a beer bottle over his head. My brother and the drummer are roommates so she was over at the house often. So fast forward to this year.
First, little things started happening. My brothers things started to go missing. A shirt, a phone charger, an Xbox controller, etc. The house has a lot of parties, so he just thought it was one of the guests. Then something went missing that he immediately noticed, his shoes disappeared. It happened when Stephanie was over with the drummer, but he had no evidence. He was convinced it was her, but he had no proof.
Then after my brother visited me (we live in different cities) my mom cooked a special meal for him to take home. After a few days, when he took it out of the refrigerator at home, he noticed it smelt like cleaning supplies. The dish had orange sauce so it blended in with the Orange cleaning supplies. Again my brother knew it was her because she had been over, but couldn't say anything because there was no proof. He told the drummer, but he said that my brother has no proof against Stephanie and that he's accusing her for no reason.
A few weeks later. The band is playing a concert at a bar. Stephanie is there. After the concert, my brother's winter jacket (costs about $300) is missing. He immediately goes to the drummer and blames Stephanie. Same reacting no proof, no evidence, blah blah. My brother is driving home, completely furious. Then he remembers that they film their concerts with a gopro to review the show later. My brother looks through the footage and sees that halfway through the show she does infact take my brother's coat and drags it out of the bar. Busted. My brother shows the drummer, he is finally on my brother's side. He goes to the cops, shows the video. She is ordered to give my brother the money for a new jacket. After a month of delay and I'm sure trying to get out of it, she finally pays up. The drummer and her aren't "back together", but still talk and hang out sometimes.
Then, my brother receives a letter from the radio station that she works for. Word got out that she stole the jacket. The radio station that she was working for organized the concert and my brother's band was the client. So she stole from the client. Her boss asks my brother for the video and fires her.
Then this week happened. The band is playing a concert. Stephanie is there. When they're standing outside, my brother hears her ask the drummer of the other roommate is home. The drummer says no. Then after a while she disappears for 1-2 hours. When my brother gets home, his cat is missing. The cat has been with him for over 5 years and it's family to us. (Cat people will understand). If you're not a cat person and don't see the big deal, the cat is a pure-bred and cost my brother about $800. First thought is that the cat ran away, but there are no paw prints outside the house. Fresh snow was falling that night. It has been four days and the cat hasn't returned. It's -30°C where my brother lives. Again no proof, no evidence, but everyone that knows my brother, knows that she did it to get back at him for losing her job.
So what's next? My brother is scared for his life. She knows where he works, where he parks, etc. She is clearly an insane person. What can he do? I want to help him with any sort of advice.
TLDR: it's okay if you didn't read, but I don't feel like summarizing this story up.
