Thieves in the Temple

My mother insists that people are stealing her things even though she is constantly moving things around.  She has lost her drivers' license, credit cards, hats, scarves, pajamas, purses and many other items of clothing because 'strangers' are roaming through HER house.

There are no strangers in the house.  Nothing has been stolen.  Items that were lost are miraculously found days, weeks and even months later.  But none of that matters because in her mind, she is not losing anything.

Especially not her mind.

When she lost her ids back in Novemer, I spent several hours looking through her drawers, which are now all filled with useless, rubber-banded together pay stubs, letters and other assorted crap dating back to 2008.  I had determined that it was time to call the DMV the very day that she claims her items were returned.  My useless brother claims that she found everything because he chose not to affix her patch that morning.

No, she is not losing her mind at all.  I am.
