Recently we found out that Wati had been stealing from my mum! My mum’s been losing small amounts of money but we thought that my mum may have forgotten that she had spent the money. Both she and Wati had been going out for their walks and even to the library frequently.
My mum trusted Wati and she even handed money to Wati to keep in my mum’s purse. Wati became greedy. When my mum said she lost close to $300 at one go, I immediately suspected Wati though I didn’t say so to my mum. My mum had trusted Wati a bit too much!! As far as I am concerned, if there is a theft in the home, 95% would be by the maid or the maid had a part to play. I may seem biased but there is truth. I’ve read in the papers previously that there were instances when the maid played the victim when there was robbery in their employer’s house.
My mum got sick and was hospitalized since 24 May for 2 weeks. It was by chance that my sister found out that Wati was the thief. My sister caught her red-handed!!
During one of my sister’s visit to the hospital, the curtain around my mum’s bed was closed as the nurse and the Wati attended to her. My sister heard the beeping of a mobile phone. Then she saw Wati came out of my mum’s cubicle to answer the sms. After the nurse draw the curtain, Wati then excused herself supposedly to go to the toilet.
My sister then trailed her to the toilet without Wati knowing - like a tv drama. My sister watches the Chinese dramas quite often :) As soon as Wati got into a cubicle, my sister went into the one next to her. Wati made a call to someone then she went out of the toilet and back to my mum, pretending as if she really had to answer nature’s call.
My sister then went to the ward also pretending as if nothing happened though she was “boiling” inside! As Wati was in the hospital to take care of my mum, we didn’t want to question her yet though the family now knows what she had done.
Wati did not show any sign of remorse or guilt. It’s as if it was her right to taking the money!
