It happens all the time in nursing homes and it seems strange that we take the time to put our loved ones names on it - and they seem to go for a walk regardless. In this case I'd ask them to keep an eye out - it could have been a resident who loved it - came in and "stashed it" somewhere just to be cruel - that happens too - jealousy cause they did not get one - or that they liked another one better than her own - or whatever... one lady took a dolls head off the body of another's favorite doll - she loved her doll and took it with her everywhere - it was her baby - she knew no better and even with the head gone - she carried that "baby" and cried daily till one day they found the head under another ladies mattress - how she lifted that mattress to get it there - ??????? but anyway lost was found, but not in as good of shape after the fact - but the "baby" could not be replaced with another either; it was HER baby and she would not "adopt" a new baby - how sad when our love ones get to this stage - and get "robbed" to boot... just so unnecessary -
