I hate to say this, but that happens all the time in nursing homes. My mom finally had to take the big step because she had serious sight problems. Things went missing all the time, and often my sister found that another nursing home resident had taken it. She saw a woman walking down the hall with Mom's slippers on. I'd make something with just nice big squares. I donate the tied fleece ones(or I sew two fleece pieces together, right sides out, sew it all the way around, trim with a scalloped rotary cutter, and call it a day. They look nice and are so cuddly.
