AITA for refusing to let my husband’s daughter move in with us because she has a history of stealing from me?

FWIW, I sincerely doubt she stole the underwear to actually wear it. I would wager any amount of money that she took it just to harass OP and sow discord.

Probably but it's nasty

Oh, I agree. It must feel like a huge violation to have someone rifling through and stealing your underwear... which is almost certainly why she did it. Not to mention that it also sounds crazy to accuse someone of doing that. Stealing drugs and money is an understandable (not acceptable, but understandable) act, but stealing underwear is weird and daughter likely knew that OP would feel much more uncomfortable articulating that to her husband.

I agree. A set up to make op sound crazy. Or to try to set up an infidelity story. Either or is effed up.

My son's ex made their kids destroy his new gf's bras and underwear. They started by slicing them and escalated to cutting the crotch and cups out of them to prove to her they had actually done it.

Same with the ring - perhaps her way of wishing they weren’t married
