What I do in a situation like this: I let you know that I'm pretty sure that you stole from me. I tell them something a long the lines of this: "I'm going to let it go this one time because I can't prove it, but if I ever suspect that you've stolen from me again it will be the end of our friendship. So if you see someone stealing from me you'd better let me know".
If they are really your friend they can respect that. If they get pissed they are usually just trying to cover for the fact that they stole the item from you.
I had a friend with sticky fingers a few years back. He was a dumb thief too...he'd was the type that would steal something of yours and had no problem showing it to you and everyone else a week later. I had to end that friendship over a PS2 memory card. A fucking memory card with all my GT4/NFSU2 saves on it..all those cars that I spent hours setting up. >< I told him to just keep the damn thing because it was now useless to me (he formatted it) and that was the last time that I spoke with him. I see him in public every now and again and he won't even look me in the eye.
Anyway in my experience if someone is known to have sticky fingers they are usually the prime suspect.
