My mom is in assisted living and I have a suspicion that the staff, or perhaps a resident, is taking her money. I need something that won’t look out of place and isn’t easily disabled, maybe it plays possum when unplugged but has battery backup. Anyone have any advice?

    The problem isn’t just that it will be thrown out in court, it’s that it itself is illegal.

    Which doesn’t necessarily mean don’t do it but you’re limited in how you can reveal how you know things are being stolen etc.

      Agreed. I’m not entirely (barely) versed in the law, but at the very least, if it’s a one party consent state, his mom would “have to set it up”.

      What’s less clear to me is why the drastic action? Start by leaving a 20 on the dresser and see if it stays there.
