My mother-in-law let her friend raid my closet while I was away. Little did they know, karma would step in with a shocking twist that made revenge look tame.
Ever had someone raid your closet while you were away? Now imagine it’s your mother-in-law’s bestie playing dress-up with your designer clothes. I’m Karen, 32, entrepreneur and mom, and I just lived through this nightmare…

A couple of weeks back, I was packing my suitcase for a week-long business trip to New York when my mother-in-law, Janet, waltzed into my bedroom.
“Don’t worry about a thing, dear,” she said, patting my arm. “I’ll take good care of Dave and your daughter Marly while you’re gone.”
I forced a smile. “Thanks, Janet. I appreciate it.”

Janet waved as I headed out. “Have a safe trip, dear!”
Oh, what a sweetheart my MIL was, or so I thought. I welcomed her help with open arms. Turns out, I should’ve kept them CLOSED.

Two days into my trip, I was in the middle of a meeting when my phone buzzed. It was a text from my neighbor and best friend, Lisa.
Lisa: “OMG, you’re not going to believe this! Do you know someone named Sheryl?”
Lisa: “Well, Sheryl, Janet’s friend, is basically living in your house right now! She’s wearing your clothes and using your makeup!”
Me (Freaking out): “WHAT?! Are you serious? That’s insane!”
Lisa: “You need to see this.”
A video popped up on my screen.

I excused myself and ducked into the hallway to watch it. My jaw dropped as I saw...
