I hired a contractor to remodel my kitchen and I left my wallet there. When I came back to it within less an hour, they were gone and the wallet was open with the money gone. They and I are the only people who have access to the property. I know exactly how much money was there and when I called them, they were playing dumb. Should I confront them? What should I do? There are still unfinished jobs to do.
First, don't leave valuables unattended in the presence of strangers. Outside of that, I would absolutely fire the contractor. Unfinished jobs be damned, there's no way I would have a thief voluntarily return to my home. You can always find another contractor to finish the job - kitchen remodeling is not rocket science.
