I noticed that one little boy, we will call him Drew enjoyed playing with the match box cars. I only had a few and noticed that they kept going missing. Now, I thought they were somewhere in the classroom and they would turn up but in the mean time, I went out and purchased a few more boxes of cars. Now, when Drew was leaving I went to give him a hug goodbye and noticed his pockets were full. I asked what he had. He refused to answer. His mom took the match box cars out of his pocket. I spoke to Drew and said that I just bought those cars for the classroom and they had to stay in the class. The parent said jumped in and said I was mistaken and they are his cars.. ( they are not) ..and became angry at me. Fast forward, now I have no cars in the classroom because they all "disappeared"... Help? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I'd simply stop bringing in matchbox cars. Explain to the class that you brought the cars in for everyone to play with, but, without accusing anyone directly, students weren't respecting that privilege and were taking the cars home for themselves.
