    I doubt he's the only one stealing things if security is that lax.

    Nothing,and I do mean nothing,surprises me any more. As an aside,my father,who was a marine,was in the va hospital in Lake City Fl ,barely clinging to life (they had to amputate his left leg due to diabetes) and when they wheeled him out to emergency surgery his wallet was left in the nightstand for no longer than 3-4 minutes. When my mom realized I turned around and went to get it,and in that short interim they stole the money out of it. Around $140 .There were 2 nurses on that floor,and believe you me,that was $140 those bitches wish theyd never saw. I screamed the roof off that place,security,local police and all couldnt shut me up. I think it was just my fear of my father being so ill,but it was also the astonishment I felt that they could rob a sick,dying,elderly man.
    As another aside,dad made it through,and I made it my lifes mission to get those thieves fired,and I did. :)

    At least you could find them......someone lifted 50 bucks from Dads wallet ....on him....as he lay for a week on a bed in the ER , with a fractured hip...& next to no pain killers......
    To this day , I respect that mans fortitude...& rail against the vultures roaming that ER !!!

    The thing is it was like 1 am when they called us to let us know he took a bad turn and had to do the surgery,there was no one else on that particular floor except those thieves. Dads room was 4 feet away from the nurses station,no one else COULD have done it! His watch,his rings and his wallet were still in the damn drawer !VA hospital in Lake City is a death trap but I must give kudos to the VA hospital in Gainesville. They saved my dads life and gave him 10 more years,the care he received there was superb.Theres little respect anymore for anything it seems.

    I honestly think the impalement execution should be re-instated for pure A-holes like that. Or at least burning at the stake if people don’t have the guts to support impalement.

    I have lots of words for behaviour like that; Davey wouldn't like it if I typed most of them. I don't like thieves on the best of days, thieves stealing from the dying...I'd ask how low can you go, but the saying "low enough to steal the pennies of a dead man's eyes" exists for a reason.
