Robbery at the hospital today

Yes, you read that correctly. Today as John said in the previous post he is pretty worn out and so he was in bed most of the day. I was sitting by his bedside reading. The curtain that separates the two rooms was mostly open since we are pretty good friends now with Nick and his girlfriend Melissa. Nick and Melissa went up to the recreation floor and had been gone just 5 or so minutes when a guy walked into the room. He acted like he knew them and was there for a visit with his friends. I didn't think anything of it. He asked where they were and how long they had been gone. He told us he would just wait there for them and sat in the chair on the other side of the curtain from me.

Maybe 2 minutes later he looked around the curtain and said he would go look for them up on the 15th floor. John and I didn't think anything of it. He closed his eyes to snooze and I kept reading. About 30 minutes later Nick and Melissa came back down. Nick then asked us if we borrowed Melissa hand held Nintendo DS. Nope....we sure didn't. So they began to look everywhere.....he had her look in her purse to see if she had put it there. That is when she also noticed that the money was taken from her wallet. WHAT????????????

This guy must be a true professional. I asked them if their friend found them upstairs and their response was "what friend?". Yikes! So, in the 2 minutes he was on the other side of the curtain, this guy took her game and got in her purse without one peep of noise. I just thought he was sitting there waiting. Odd thing was that her game sat on top of the table with his game, laptop and ipod yet he only took one thing.

Some people have lots of guts. What kind of person steals in the first place and really what kind of person steals from a cancer patient? What is this world coming too. Well, hopefully he needed the money more than Nick and Melissa do and he took it to feed his hungry family or something like that. JEEZ!
