I don't think anyone will disagree with the point that what the sister did was wrong. The invasion of privacy - wrong. The theft of personal property - wrong. But to ignore the bigger picture is myopic.
To the mainstream, drugs are illegal. End of story. Therefore any private action taken against to them is irrelevant in the eyes of the law. In the view of the mainstream, what the sister did was perfectly acceptable. I'm not saying I agree with it, but we cannot ignore the reality.
It is precisely because of that reality that we must protect ourselves. That is why he must hide his stash when she comes to visit. Personally, after pulling a stunt like that, I would ensure that she never again entered my property. She simply would not be allowed in my house until I received an apology and full restitution, assuming she did it.
