The first thing you need to do, if you're sure the treasurer spent the money without club authorization, is to fire that person. How much money are we talking about? Theft of someone else's money is embezzlement. If the amount is more than just a few dollars, contact both the police to report the theft and a lawyer to consult with him about your options.
RustSkiPp suggests the first thing you should do is post this question in the legal section to get "a really good answer"! Do you think a lawyer might be wasting his time on this site? NO! He also implies that you need to get over it and get on with your life. He's probably a liberal Dem ... they don't believe that there are any absolute rights and wrongs anymore. I wonder if he feels the same about someone sealing his wallet or maybe his car? Theft is theft and the person who steals is a thief. Stealing is a crime. Committing a crime has consequences. Stealing money is embezzlement and there is specific punishment for those who embezzle money. What about restitution of the stolen funds? Aren't you interested in trying to get your money back?
Take a stand and take action!

unless you have proof enough to prosecute there is basically nothing you can do about it. I am Queen of a Red Hat Society chapter and I worried about this same problem. What I did was after we agreed upon what the club dues would be, we made Dues Boxes and we all keep our own dues. When the money is needed for whatever each person brings in their share. If you do not have your share one time we might be upset but you stay in the club. If you mess up twice and stop or delay some club activity because of it you are out of the club, no more chances.

Hey Delowe,
First, post this question in the LEGAL section, you will get a real good answer.
Two, The laws vary depending on where you are, so give that information.
Three, The amount matters, specify how much because it makes a difference in what laws apply.
Four, Gather the proof that it was stolen, and that the 3 did in fact, without dispute spend the money, and not on the club or club functions.
Five, Fire them - and get on with your life.

The criminal act of embezzlement has taken place. Contact the police with the evidence you have. I DO hope that the club keeps records and have people prepared to fill out dispositions.

Report it to the police. If you find enough evidence, the treasurer will get in lots of trouble.

If the expenditures were unauthorized and for the sole benefit of the individual, it's embezzlement. Call the police. If it was simply a matter of mismanagement, find another treasurer.

Prosecute!
If you look the other way or fail to take any action, then you are condoning the behavior.
This "criminal" will act again if left unchecked and only become bolder in their crimes.
Also...ALWAYS listen to advice and counsel from the Ladies of the Red Hat (as I reverentially refer to them). Only the best and brightest are admitted to this esteemed order. Take her advice!
