Assistant Administrator stated that on Sunday 12/03/23, R1 called the police to report theft and R1 accused Staff 1 (S1). He also stated that the bag was found in R1's room on 12/04/2023. LPA interviewed S1 and S1 denied stealing any money or a bag from R1. Information provided by the Pasadena Police Department stated that on Sunday 12/03/23 at 6:00pm they responded to this facility regarding a resident calling to report that he/she was a victim of a theft and the resident suspected S1. Resident told the police that he/she was missing money ($200.00) and a bag from his/her room . However, the resident did not have any evidence to prove that S1 took the items and the police officer was not able to locate any independent witnesses. LPA interviewed R1 and R1 denied calling the police on 12/03/23, and R1 stated that the money was not stolen over the weekend and that it happened Thursday 11/30/23 at night when he asked S1 to help him/her take out a laptop and other things from R1's backpack where he/she had the money (however, the $200 were given to R1 on the morning of Friday 12/01/23). R1 stated every night he/she will ask staff to help him/her take out things from his/her backpack because he/she has no hands. R1 denied receiving the $200 on Friday 12/01/23 and stated that the $200 were given to him/her on the morning of Thursday 11/30/23. R1 also stated that he/she was at school all day on Friday 12/01/23 and got back to the facility around 7pm and that is when R1 realized that the money was missing and he/she complained to the Assistant Administrator and staff. R1 stated that none of his/her bags were stolen only the money. The other 7 residents interviewed could not corroborate with the allegation and they all stated that staff have not stolen from them. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. Exit interview held and a copy of the report was provided
