Praying on the Elderly

You have to wonder what has gone wrong with society when the younger generation is stealing from the elderly?

Now I know this is nothing new you see it all the time on the news and in the papers but when it happens close to home it gets you a little mad. Don’t worry nothing really bad has happened like him being beaten up or robbed of all his savings. My Pops (grandfather) is the sweetest harmless person in the world. He is loosing his marbles a bit but aren’t we all. He is not as agile as he use to be but that’s just old age.

He has a close friend called Tommy and he comes round and does his gardens for him a great gentleman but he is also getting on bit so lately he has been sending his grandson round to do the gardens for my Pops. Now this has been ok for a while so they thought!

Pops has been collecting tools and gadgets for years and has been storing then neatly in his shed for when he needs them. Ok admittedly he is getting on a bit and can’t hold the tools much anymore but that’s not the point. He has bought and built up this magnificent collection. Recently he has noticed bits of it have been missing!

Now the lock or shed has not been broken into and the only other person who has had access is Tommy’s grandson. Don’t get me wrong he does get paid for his work by Pops just like Tommy did but to take tools gradually so they would not be missed – This is wrong! It’s something you just don’t do. You wouldn’t want someone doing it your grandparents so why do it to someone elses?

This week I have been given the remainder of the collection of tools to stop anymore going missing as Pops has admitted that he no longer has a use for them. I think he is very upset by the fact that he has been betrayed by someone he trusted.
