My brother had a 50 dollar bill in his wallet. His friend came over and my brother showed it to him. He left him alone there for a little bit then he left. My brother hasn't looked in his wallet in a while but when he looked today, it was gone. His friend is the only one who could of took it but he promised he didnt do it and he would help him find it. What should I think?

Well, unless you have ghosts and there was nobody else around...either you or the friend took it, right? Is your conscience clear or are you trying to see how others would view it to try to exonerate yourself?
My other question is WHY did your brother feel the need to show his friend that he had a $50 bill in his wallet? Is he playing games, or what? Was his $50 bill really stolen? OR maybe he realized that he might have to share it with his brother and/or his friend and he'd rather hold onto it for himself and thought it best to say it was stolen... Hmmmm......

Pretty circumstantial evidence. It was days before the money was noticed missing? There were probably lots of times where the money could have been stolen or lost since then that your brother does not remember.
It is a suspicious circumstance but I don't think there is enough evidence to consider the friend guilty. If I were on a jury and this was all that was presented as evidence, I would vote not guilty.
That does not mean you have to trust this friend though. Your brother might want to keep a closer eye on him whenever he is around.

Tell him to put another 50 dollar bill in his wallet and show his friend again, but this time, have a hidden camera in the room.

Whatever you think as a bystander to the whole thing is not really important. What your brother should think is that the 50 is gone, he suspects a friend, he won't easily trust that friend again and he shouldn't take chances like that with 'friends' around. In short, he should never do something like that again and chalk this up to experience.

You should think that that kid took it. It didn't grow legs and walk away. does your brother suffer from amnesia or black out often? If not, the chances are that his friends stole it.
This happens all the time. Money will make anyway act shady under the right circumstance. He probably already bought a new game for his Wii with it. LOL

You can't prove it, but the friend seems like a suspect. Are you sure your brother is telling the truth? Do you trust your brother more than the friend? Your brother isn't blaming you, is he? You have to trust that people are telling the truth unless they give a reason to believe otherwise.

I think that you shouls ask the friend if he has seen a 50 dollar bill latly and if no luck get somone else involded.

It sounds as if either your brother spent it or his friend 'took' it. I don't really see where what you think is involved in the equation.
We can't tell you what to think; only YOU can know what YOU think; that is, if you have an opinion about the situation.

well if you took it then you should come clean, but if you and your brother only had his friend in the room and it disappeared then chances are the friend took it and you both should not invite this friend over.
if over the time he notices you two are not talking to him or inviting him over he might just come clean, cause why lose your friends for $50.

Maybe he didn't take it, maybe your brother misplaced it just as sure as he was flashing his money, he could of easily misplaced. I hope for the friends sake ya'll find it
