Good Police Work Tracks Down Alleged Nursing Home Thief
In November 2009, a ninety-three year old resident of Cypress Village nursing home told her son that her Rolex watch had been stolen. Her son provided a detailed description of the watch to the police, who began a search of area pawn shops. The watch was discovered at a local pawn shop and the person pawning the watch had left her fingerprint and signed a proof of ownership form.
Police checked the fingerprint and found that Sharon Bines Kaiser was an employee of Cypress Village and could access the victim's room. After further investigation, police determined that Kaiser had pawned ninety items since March 2009.
Kaiser was arrested and charged with dealing in stolen property, giving verification of ownership on pawned items, and elderly abuse without bodily harm. She faces similar charges in the other thefts.
