My dad passed away on February 11th in his apartment. The apartment complex which he lived was Lee Manor on West 4th St. (Owensboro Ky)
My grandfather received a call that morning to come identify my dad before the coroner would move his body from his apartment to the funeral home. The only people in there was my grandpa, the office manager, the coroner and paramedics. My grandpa said that on my dad's side table laid some money. Not a whole lot. Maybe 20 dollars, give or take a few. Two days after his death I was allowed to enter his apartment to begin cleaning it out. Lo and behold the money that was on dad's table had vanished. I informed a lady that worked in the office that the money was taken and asked her if there was security cameras. She said there was cameras and that she would make the office manager aware and the manager would get back with me. The next day I get a phone call from a very rude woman. No empathy, very unapologetic and she seemed annoyed at my inquiry. She told me that during that time the cameras were not in working order so there is no way to prove who went in to his apartment. Hum, convenient right? She also told me that my dad could have given a key to anyone. Which is true, he could have. BUT I know my dad. He wouldn't have given a key to ANYONE. And if it were just anyone why would they not have taken the pile of change that sit on his bakers rack? Or his flat screen tv? Nothing else was missing. Throughout the next week I talked to several of the people that reside there. Many were quick to tell me about the staff being shady so I decided to look at online reviews and sure enough I found one about the maintenance men having "sticky fingers". I don't know who took it but I know deep in my gut it was someone that works there. Someone that knew the money was there, someone with a key. It wasn't a lot of money, it's not about the money. Although 20 bucks would have helped a little since he didn't have a life insurance policy. It's the fact that my dad just died and someone saw it fit to pillage his apartment and take something that didn't belong to them. It's sad and sick. Consider this a PSA when you or a loved one is choosing your next place to live.
