This kind of crap happens in skilled nursing facilities all of the time. When my father went into a SNF I deliberately left a $10 bill in his wallet. I went back the next morning and it was gone. I considered the $10 well spent and moved him to another place.

That's a great idea, but be aware that a clever crook might see that as a test and leave the item, but luckily crooks are usually not that clever.

Do Freepers think it's a good idea to visit a relative at a nursing home at random hours as a way to help protect them?

It is a good idea. My mom was found a couple of times with bruising on her wrists. I realize the elderly bruise more easily, but one time it was excessive. We raised the roof and thankfully it never happened again.
