Neighbors “mistakenly” loot old woman’s house

I have an important lesson for all of our younger readers our there: People are scum. The sooner you learn that, the better off you’ll be. For concrete evidence, take a look at this story of an elderly woman in California who collapsed, was put on life support and, within 24 hours, had her neighbors dividing up her possessions and taking them all. While she’s still alive.

An elderly Patterson woman was taken away to a hospital and her neighbors, fearing the worst, divided up her belongings thinking they were following her wishes.

However, the woman is still alive, and now those possessions are being slowly returned.

“This is not right, this lady has nothing now, they took everything and gave it away,” a neighbor said.

Lacore went to the hospital and she was put on life support, the same day a friend who had the key started giving away her possessions.

“The bed, the clothes, she had a breathing machine, they took it, the TV, dishes, glasses, everything,” a neighbor said.

Pretty bad right? But wait, it gets better!

Neighbor Alice Gonzales said she took the dresser and suitcase, but later returned them. She said that she took the items because “If she goes, I’ll have memories of her.”

What fond memories can someone POSSIBLY get from a dresser and a suitcase? The thing that an elderly woman stored her weathered undergarments in doesn’t strike me as a suitable way of keeping someone’s memory alive. How about you just be honest and say, “Yeah, well, I really needed a dresser and a suitcase and, let’s be honest, this old lady isn’t taking a trip to Tahiti any time soon, so hey, f it.”

The public administrator (de facto executor of the elderly woman’s estate) said no charges are pending since everyone seems to be slowly returning all of her belongings. Good folks out there in Patterson, California.
