Yikes. Weird that she lied about it. The whole thing is weird, actually. Evidently mom has no worries about bringing things home with them, even though she clearly realizes you don't like it.
I agree with the pat down... which is unfortunate.
Your other option would be to lay it out with mom - if things keep 'accidentally' getting in their car you will have to start charging her for 'borrowing.' The library gets taxes and has late fees... so can you.
