i play on a mindcrack like server...
it is private and whitelisted but the player are all around the world and dont have any connection other than playing on that private server...
after a while of peaceful playing....
comes a thief... or somebody became a thief...
the "Thief" stole my 5 diamonds and some stacks of iron...
and an infinity bow from my friend and 3 diamond BLOCKS from the server owner and more
so, anyone have a suggestion how to catch this mysterious thief?
here are a clue i find that might help....
the thief left me lots of cooked chicken after he stole my iron... so he might have a big chicken farm... but the only one who have that chicken farm is my best friend
and that friend is the only one who ever come in my home...
so...?
( btw. i dont ask who the thief... i asked HOW to catch the thief )
Get the owner to install something like LogBlock without telling people, see if the thief steals again.
The owner could also check the server log files to see who logged in between when the items were there and when they were stolen, narrowing down who could have taken it.

Also,try checking your best friend's house and see if he has any thing that belongs to you and if not then check the other houses in the server.

As an alternative you can take a stack of items you want to protect and rename them in an anvil. This will forever mark those items with your name. It cost's 39 levels of exp to rename a stack of items but if a thief does take them you and the owner will be able to search the inventories of other users or chests and find items that are renamed to your name. If the "thief" re-renames the items they will be a slanted font still and that will be very suspicious.
This is the only non modded, non command block way I can think of and I have personally been using it on my servers to help keep my stuff safe. A lot of people will back away from renamed items simply because of how traceable they are.
