please do not justify why she stole from her. in this generation-- stealing is stealing, it is never right. there is no "white stealing" as to there is such a thing as a "white lie" (i am disregarding this scene i remember when in this movie ive watched, the kid was so hungry and out of desperation, he broke the bakery's glass window and took away with him one small pan..the kid got caught and was sentenced to hanging. this was back in the depression era in france). :)

back to my point, based from experience i grew up with house maids (we treated them humanely and kindly)and they all stole things from my home-- they all got away with it. so, i feel for asmak that this had happened to her. best of my wishes to your household.
