If you give an inch, they'll take a mile.
The real problem is, the next person is not likely to be any better. I would confront them, give them one warning and the next time they're gone. Though I'd probably offer them better than typical wages... to them you're probably just another rich white guy while they struggle to feed their kids.

That pretty much summarises the scenario Sly - it's not about oatmeal, just that WC may have noticed that being very obvious. Half the time you'd never notice the place being cleaned out.
I've had camera lenses go, the friggin cutlery (and not because it was thrown in the trash in error), ladies clothes - especially designer label stuff, money - even foreign currency notes, and once a portable TV slid thru the gates
No domestic staff are permitted to bring bags into the house - they are left at the security gate. They are also subject to random searches on the way out. Sad shit.
The flip side is that maids are well-paid and they know very well that if they have any problems, they can just say, and there is a solution - there is no need to steal stuff.
