Either that or she's making things up.
She has Alzheimer's and is living in a Memory Care facility.
She's telling us an unbelievable story that she says happened Thursday night.
Here's the story she told:
"It was after dark, between 8 and 9 pm and the lights in the hallways were already turned off. I was sitting in my room and the door opened and this young girl around 19 and a boy around the same age looked into my room and the girl said, 'I was wanting to get some of those Little Bites that you have' (it's a mini-chocolate muffin snack) and by then she was already halfway across the room and the boy stayed in the doorway. I said 'okay' and she walked over and took two packages, then she reached into my refrigerator and stole a drink and ran out the door. I stayed up until 2 am afraid to sleep and I'm so scared somebody's going to come into my room and take all my things."
Her story had a lot of holes in it and now 3 days later she's changed the story about 5 times with different variations. She's convinced it really happened. We're convinced it really didn't.
It's so sad what happens to their brains when they have dementia.

They also can't tell dreams from reality either. My late mother-in-law dealt with those things, too. It's kinda hard.

Just now
She called last night and is upset again because we informed the staff about the "incident" just in case in the 1% chance it was true or it not, so they'd be aware she's slipping mentally. She says now they're retaliating against her and she thinks they were in on the theft.

I remember when my great aunt was in a nursing home, she kept complaining people were coming in her room and taking things. She didn't have dementia though.
