My housemate is accusing my boyfriend and I of stealing her laptop.
My boyfriend came over to the house I was moving out of to help me move. As we were moving things into the car, my housemate and her boyfriend left the house. After we were done moving things out of my room, i began saying goodbye to three of the seven people who lived there. Afterward, i went upstairs to check under my bed to make sure i didn't forget anything...and sure enough i forgot a box of ramen. Since we didnt have enough space in the car to fit the box i decided to shove all the ramen into my duffel bag because it was still waiting to get placed in the car & was quite empty. my boyfriend brought it upstairs to my room and i shoved all the ramen into it. Later we walk downstairs and i say goodbye to my other housemates and i depart the residence.
An hour later, my housemate's boyfriend calls me to tell me his girlfriend's (my housemate) laptop is missing from her room and that they're filing police reports. They're accusing my boyfriend and I of the theft because of the "timing" and because we brought my duffel bag upstairs after they assumed I was done moving. My boyfriend and I are good kids and have no criminal record of any sort. I'm baffled and lost. I was wondering what to expect next and how to clear my name from this situation. I live about 30 miles from her now, so what should I expect/do? should I consult the attorney I intern for advice? Do I need to speak to the officer if he comes over (I'm afraid I'll be nervous because I know they're openly accusing me already!) Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thank you very much.
