The old man next door
Theres an old man who lives nextdoor....
he's frail and has recently started to have memory loss.
Its really sad but 9 months ago he hired a local girl to help him out...
change his diaper, run to the store, do his laundry etc..
She was stealing his money!
its estimated that her and her boyfriend took over $6,000.00 from him before
we could stop her.
IT happened like this:
because she would go to the store....she had the pin # to his debit card.
she also had access to his checks to pay his bills.
she/they would withdrawl $$ and not tell him. hide the statements and of coarse he would forget.
she/they took a few checks from the back of his checkbook and they would write a check for say....$300.00 & deposit it in the ATM...it would allow them to take $200.00 out imediately. even when his account was overdrawn.
The landlord & i kept telling him (bless his heart) that she was a shady lady ,but he kept telling us that she was a good person.
one day he came over to my place and asked me to go online to order him a cell phone. We got to the pay part & i asked him for his debit card....he couldnt find it.
my roommy searched his whole place and it was no where.
when we called the bank to freeze the card ( i spoke to the bank) they told me that he was bouncing checks all over town.
The old man said he hadnt written any checks in 2 months!...so we called the police (required by the bank to reemburse his money)
At that time almost $5,000.00 was missing.
the old man got another debit card with a new #....the girl he hired to help gave naturally told him that she had no idea what happened to his money.
he believed her.
2 weeks later the girls boyfriend was stopped by the cops for some reason other than this and when the cops searched him guess what they found?....the old mans new debit card!!!.
we didnt even know it was missing til the cops called me (my # was given for the police report)and told me.
another $1,400.00 was missing. the bank told the old man....no more debit cards for u!
that was 6 months ago . it has taken me that long to handle his moneies so that everyone got paid , he had some cash AND to get the bank str8.
Life can sure suck for old people if no one looks out for em.
He now has a wonderful retired nurse that cares for him. shes so sweet, lool the other day i heard him go off on her!,, he was just bei9ng hateful...as i stood outside his door and listened he was using some serious sailor language. She came out the door with tears in her eyes. I asked her how long he had been talking like that to her...she said..."from the start"...i walked into his bedroom and calmly said 'listen old man...u keep talking like that u wont have anyone to help u" Ive never raised my voice to this man...but rotf...he was "yes ma'aming" me for twenty mins. I told him to be the gentleman his momma raised. We will see how long that last.
