Re: Subdivision embezzlement

If she makes restitution immediately and you fire her husband, I wouldn't take it any further. Otherwise, I would call the police.

It would be unwise to put her on a repayment plan. If she defaults, it will appear to be a civil matter and the police won't help.

I don't see any point in notifying the other residents. It won't get your money back.
