[quote=HummerGardenCrafts]This happens in most nursing home facilities. I know it happened all the time in the one my father was in.

I suspect this happens frequently in all care homes. That old demon Alzheimer's is the reason. My DH was in a nursing home for 3 years, and he was always losing things. There was one sweet little lady who went around to empty rooms and searched the bedside drawers, removing anything that caught her eye. The workers there regularly searched HER room and returned found objects to their proper rooms. Only now and then did anyone get really upset about this, most knew it would return to them. My own DH got upset when someone stole his chocolates!! That he would not share!!
