Back a few years ago before my mother passed away, she was in a nursing home and one of the nurse's aids stole some checks from her. I had power of attorney and had her checkbook, but when the bank sent new checks, they sent them to the nursing home instead of me. I didn't get up to see her for a few days and get the checks. She stole a pack of checks and then taped up the box again and I never bothered to look at it closely until the bank sent me a note saying she was overdrawn to the tune of a few hundred dollars. The bank made good for the money and it wasn't hard to catch her. She ordered a lot of stuff from mail order catalogs and forged my mom's name, but had it sent to her house. The clincher was she couldn't spell "hundred". The cop brought her into the station were she denied everything until he got a handwriting sample of her writing three hundret dollers. Just like on the canceled checks.Didn't cost me anything more than a lot of time and aggravation. Never heard what happened to her, and I don't really care at this point. If she was desperate for money to feed her kid or by diapers I could have a little sympathy (very little)or at least understand a bit, but she spent $400 at Victoria's Secret, among other things. I had to leave work early to attend her preliminary hearing as a "witness" and she never showed so they had to put out a bench warrant. I was never called back and didn't care. It was between her and Wachovia at that point.
