Can you trust your neighbor?

The question today is “can you trust your neighbor”? In my neighborhood I have two neighbors that hang out together w/their families, have cookouts together, go shopping together and even watch football together.  They both have kids the same age which makes the friendship extra nice.  Now imagine if one neighbor has a yard sale and later that day discovers that $100 is missing AFTER the other neighbor leaves the house.  What would you think?  Coincidence?  Also the neighbor that had the yard sale is the daytime babysitter of the other neighbor. What would you do if that neighbor didn’t pay you by the end of the week as agreed. I would think its a very sensitive situation. Do you say something to that person and by chance risking your friendship or just wait until that person decides to pay you?  What would you do?  I know business and friendship should stay seperate, but does it when its time to speak up?
