I was just going to say the same thing. Put his name on BOTH THE BACK AND THE FRONT of the quilts. And yes, sometimes even the other patients do the stealing. The one my DH was in for so long had a mentally off woman who went around in her wheel chair, searching through other rooms to see what she could lift from drawers. The aids said they checked out her own drawers every week to remove anything that didn't belong to her, and replace them where they belonged. You could tell when she had been "shopping" because she had a lump under her chair robe!! It got to be rather funny after a while.
