I know for a fact that nobody stole my mother's money, as in the early days I used to be able to find it hidden in the most unlikely places. The money would disappear between me leaving her at 4 p.m. one day and the next day she would be on the phone at 6 a.m. shouting that she did not have any money. As I lived some 100 miles away, I used to direct her to the cash I had put by in envelopes to pay the gardener and hairdresser. She used to help herself to that and then telephone me a couple of hours later to say that it had disappeared. This went on for a couple of years - very draining.
We have never found any of it and as I used to leave her with quite a lot money in the early days, a great deal eventually went missing.
Later on, when she had carers, money was still disappearing, but I would never dream of accusing them. I had cut down the amount left for her disposal by then.
The postman said she used to post non-postal items in the pillar box at the end of her road, but he didn't say if it included money.
Even when the house was eventually cleared and sold, no cash was ever found.
