I am looking for a book that I read in the 80’s about a girl trapped in a department store with jewel thieves. She has hid the jewels (I believe among costume jewelry) and the thieves are looking for her. She removes her shoes so she doesn’t make noise and at one point rolls herself up in carpet to hide. Can you help?

New format, same book stumper solving.
Is there any answer to this?
There’s a similar plot in The Eyes in the Fishbowl by Zilpha Keatley Snyder. It’s told by a boy though, but he does meet a girl who is hiding from someone in a fancy department store. I’m pretty sure she hides some jewels. Not too sure about the rug, but I think that may happen as well.
